# 80s Radio+ vs Orpheus

The clearest difference is ads: Orpheus at none against 80s Radio+'s shown. Orpheus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). 80s Radio+'s advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). 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.

Orpheus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 80s Radio+ has 5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of 80s Radio+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Orpheus's.
