# 央广网 vs 凤凰FM

The clearest difference is rating: 凤凰FM at 4.0 against 央广网's 2.0. 凤凰FM also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 4). 央广网's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 凤凰FM sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. 央广网 asks for nothing beyond the download.

凤凰FM holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of 央广网's written reviews are positive against 46% of 凤凰FM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

央广网 ships an update fortnightly, 凤凰FM every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
