Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The JOY FM at 4.7 against 95.5 WTVY's 4.1. The JOY FM also leads on ratings volume (156 vs 7). 95.5 WTVY's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The JOY FM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The JOY FM has 156 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of The JOY FM's written reviews are positive against 100% of 95.5 WTVY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The JOY FM ships an update every 3 months, 95.5 WTVY every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
