popsike.com is free to download; Vinyl Notes costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
popsike.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: popsike.com has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of popsike.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vinyl Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
popsike.com ships an update every 40 months, Vinyl Notes every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
