# PlanetRadio.us vs Power 800

The clearest difference is rating: Power 800 at 5.0 against PlanetRadio.us's 4.0. Power 800 also leads on iOS requirement (14.5 vs 26.0). PlanetRadio.us's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 27 months) and review sentiment (84% vs 71%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Power 800 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlanetRadio.us has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of PlanetRadio.us's written reviews are positive against 71% of Power 800's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PlanetRadio.us ships an update every 5 months, Power 800 every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on July 17, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
