Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FAME 95FM at 4.7 against Irie Jam's 4.0. FAME 95FM also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Irie Jam's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
FAME 95FM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FAME 95FM has 2.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of FAME 95FM's written reviews are positive against 100% of Irie Jam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FAME 95FM ships an update every 6 weeks, Irie Jam every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
