Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hallmark+ at 4.2 against STAR 95.9's 3.0. Hallmark+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). STAR 95.9's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 8%) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). On price 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
Both are free to download. Hallmark+ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. STAR 95.9 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hallmark+ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hallmark+ has 12K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Hallmark+'s written reviews are positive against 50% of STAR 95.9's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hallmark+ ships an update monthly, STAR 95.9 every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and July 25, 2026 respectively.
