# 云听 vs 快听FM

The clearest difference is rating: 快听FM at 4.0 against 云听's 2.8. 快听FM also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). 云听's advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 云听 sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and 快听FM sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

快听FM holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 云听 has 63 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of 云听's written reviews are positive against 67% of 快听FM's.

云听 ships an update every 3 weeks, 快听FM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
