Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Simple Radio at none against Radio FM's shown. Simple Radio also leads on ratings volume (527K vs 21) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Radio FM's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (84% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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. Radio FM sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Simple Radio sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Simple Radio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Radio has 527K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Radio FM's written reviews are positive against 75% of Simple Radio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Radio FM ships an update weekly, Simple Radio fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
