# The Queue vs Jukebox

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jukebox at 100% against The Queue's 20%. Jukebox also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). The Queue's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). 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 Jukebox sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jukebox 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 2, 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 100% of Jukebox's.

The Queue ships an update every 3 months, Jukebox every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
