# Smooth FM vs SoulRadio.com

The clearest difference is rating: Smooth FM at 4.8 against SoulRadio.com's 3.0. Smooth FM also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). SoulRadio.com's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Smooth FM holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smooth FM has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Smooth FM ships an update every 4 weeks, SoulRadio.com every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
