# NEXTRadio vs Radio‎‎ App

The clearest difference is rating: Radio‎‎ App at 4.7 against NEXTRadio's 1.0. Radio‎‎ App also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 4) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). NEXTRadio's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radio‎‎ App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. NEXTRadio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Radio‎‎ App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio‎‎ App has 20K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of NEXTRadio's written reviews are positive against 75% of Radio‎‎ App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NEXTRadio ships an update every 5 days, Radio‎‎ App every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
