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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
96.5 Jack FM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 96.5 Jack FM has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Wave 104.1's written reviews are positive against 33% of 96.5 Jack FM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wave 104.1 ships an update every 5 months, 96.5 Jack FM every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
