Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Praise at 4.7 against Heaven 106.1's 3.7. Praise also leads on ratings volume (674 vs 3). Heaven 106.1's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Praise holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Praise has 674 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Heaven 106.1's written reviews are positive against 76% of Praise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Heaven 106.1 ships an update every 3 months, Praise every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
