mixody is the jukebox for your party: guests scan a QR code, request songs and vote. No app download needed. You stay in control. How it works 1. Create a party and pick your music source: Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music or your own music collection. 2. Show the QR code or share the link. Guests join in their browser, without an account if you allow it. 3. Everyone requests and votes. The most popular requests move up, and mixody plays them fairly one after another. You stay in control • Blocklist for songs you don't want to hear • Skip songs and pause requests at any time • Base playlist that plays when nobody is requesting • Printable PDF invitation with QR code For your guests • No download, no account needed • Search, request and vote for songs • See live what plays next • Use a Boost to move your own request up What you need • A device connected to your speakers: phone, tablet, laptop or TV • Spotify: Premium account. Apple Music: subscription. YouTube: no subscription needed. • With YouTube and Apple Music, mixody plays the music itself, so keep the app open on the device at the speakers. Free party and Premium Party The free party covers most celebrations. For multi-day events, your own party code, a request limit per guest or your own music, there is the Premium Party. Birthday, wedding, house party or company event: with mixody you enjoy the party instead of guarding the playlist. Born on New Year's Eve 2021 from an argument about the music between two friends from rural Germany. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: mixody at 75% against The Queue's 20%. mixody also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). The Queue's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Queue sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and mixody sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
mixody 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of The Queue's written reviews are positive against 75% of mixody's.
The Queue ships an update every 3 months, mixody every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
