# Radio vs DesdePy

The clearest difference is price: DesdePy at Free against Radio's $3.99. DesdePy also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Radio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

DesdePy is free to download; Radio costs $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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio has 1.1K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Radio's written reviews are positive against 68% of DesdePy's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
