Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ntPlayer at Free against Yeast's $0.99. ntPlayer also leads on ratings volume (83 vs 1). Yeast's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (96% vs 69%). On update cadence, 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
ntPlayer is free to download; Yeast costs $0.99 up front. ntPlayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Yeast sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Yeast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ntPlayer has 83 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of ntPlayer's written reviews are positive against 96% of Yeast's.
ntPlayer ships an update every 8 days, Yeast weekly. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
