Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rock 92.9 at 4.7 against Rock 92.3's 2.1. Rock 92.9 also leads on ratings volume (343 vs 27) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Rock 92.3's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Rock 92.9 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rock 92.9 has 343 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Rock 92.9's written reviews are positive against 55% of Rock 92.3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rock 92.9 ships an update every 4 months, Rock 92.3 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
