Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: DistroKid at 27K against AngeloAlfonso's 1. DistroKid also leads on chart position (#16 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). AngeloAlfonso's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. DistroKid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per year and AngeloAlfonso sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DistroKid against 5.0 for AngeloAlfonso. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DistroKid has 27K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
DistroKid ships an update every 5 weeks, AngeloAlfonso every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
