# Etree Mobile vs Volume.com

The clearest difference is rating: Volume.com at 5.0 against Etree Mobile's 4.0. Volume.com also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Etree Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (75% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Volume.com sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Etree Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Volume.com holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Etree Mobile has 84 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Etree Mobile's written reviews are positive against 50% of Volume.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Etree Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, Volume.com monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
