# Radio vs 收音机小旋风FM

The clearest difference is ads: Radio at none against 收音机小旋风FM's shown. Radio also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13). 收音机小旋风FM's advantage is ratings volume (89 vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 收音机小旋风FM sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

收音机小旋风FM holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 收音机小旋风FM has 89 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Radio's written reviews are positive against 95% of 收音机小旋风FM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Radio ships an update weekly, 收音机小旋风FM monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
