DMB Hub from antsmarching.org: if you're a DMB fan, you must have this app. Version 4.0 is a ground-up redesign of the whole thing. The Hub is your home base. Live show alerts, On This Day history, trending forum threads, breaking news - everything happening in the DMB world, in one feed. Open it daily to see what's new. Live show mode. DMB Hub knows when a show is happening. Follow the setlist in real time, right down to your Lock Screen, place your ShowFlow votes song by song, and dig into stats as each song drops. It's the best way to follow a show you're at - or one you wish you were. Tour Central is where it gets deep.

Tap a show and you're in: setlist, stats, posters, fan photos, ticket stubs. Upload your own from the show while you're still in the parking lot. Song details that matter. Tap any song on any setlist and get the full picture - how many times played, last performance, show gap, tour rarity, fan sentiment. When was this song last played? Has it ever been played at this venue? Is a liberation coming? All right there. Your DMB journey. Log in with your Ants account and track your show history, attendance, and personal stats. See which songs you've never caught live, which venues you've hit the most, and how you stack up against friends in Head-to-Head mode - or the entire Ants community.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: LivePhish at 42K against DMB Hub's 217. LivePhish also leads on chart position (#39 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). DMB Hub's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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. LivePhish sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and DMB Hub sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LivePhish holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LivePhish has 42K ratings behind it against 217, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of LivePhish's written reviews are positive against 84% of DMB Hub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LivePhish ships an update every 2 months, DMB Hub every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
