Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Radio App at 4.3 against Rdio Scanner's 3.3. Radio App also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 86). Rdio Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (44% vs 30%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Radio App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Rdio Scanner sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Radio App holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio App has 6.7K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Radio App's written reviews are positive against 44% of Rdio Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Radio App ships an update every 2 months, Rdio Scanner monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
