Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
V 101.9 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V 101.9 has 875 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Majic 102.3's written reviews are positive against 33% of V 101.9's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Majic 102.3 ships an update every 4 months, V 101.9 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on June 16, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
