# AnimeMaker Pro vs Radio

The clearest difference is rating: Radio at 4.7 against AnimeMaker Pro's 3.9. Radio also leads on price ($3.99 vs $9.99) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 16). AnimeMaker Pro's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

AnimeMaker Pro costs $9.99 and Radio $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Radio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio has 1.1K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of AnimeMaker Pro's written reviews are positive against 74% of Radio's.

AnimeMaker Pro ships an update monthly, Radio every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
