Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Classical Music at 1.7K against Classical Music+'s 55. Classical Music also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Classical Music+'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
