Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: TuneIn Radio at free with in-app purchases against Radio Point's subscription. TuneIn Radio also leads on ratings volume (1.1M vs 405) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. TuneIn Radio sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Radio Point sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TuneIn Radio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TuneIn Radio has 1.1M ratings behind it against 405, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of TuneIn Radio's written reviews are positive against 56% of Radio Point's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
