Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Auxio at every 5 days against The Queue's every 3 months. Auxio also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). The Queue's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Queue sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Auxio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Auxio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Queue has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
The Queue ships an update every 3 months, Auxio every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
