# Sud Radio vs RTL

The clearest difference is rating: RTL at 4.6 against Sud Radio's 3.2. RTL also leads on ratings volume (95 vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). Sud Radio's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

RTL holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RTL has 95 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Sud Radio's written reviews are positive against 45% of RTL's.

Sud Radio ships an update every 2 months, RTL every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
