iPeng Party is free to download; WHAALE Multiroom Player costs $9.99 up front. WHAALE Multiroom Player sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. iPeng Party asks for nothing beyond the download.
iPeng Party holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WHAALE Multiroom Player has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of iPeng Party's written reviews are positive against 59% of WHAALE Multiroom Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iPeng Party ships an update every 2 months, WHAALE Multiroom Player every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
