Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Melon at 77% against MelonBox's 25%. Melon also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (138K vs 47). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Melon sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days and MelonBox sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Melon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Melon has 138K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Melon's written reviews are positive against 25% of MelonBox's.
Melon ships an update weekly, MelonBox every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
