Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: mStream Player at 4.6 against Fintunes's 3.9. Fintunes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. mStream Player sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Fintunes asks for nothing beyond the download.
mStream Player holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Fintunes's written reviews are positive against 64% of mStream Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fintunes ships an update every 2 months, mStream Player every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
