# Coachella Official vs Coldplay

Coachella Official and Coldplay both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Coldplay's written reviews are positive against 44% of Coachella Official's. Coldplay also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Coachella Official's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 143) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Coachella Official against 4.8 for Coldplay. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coachella Official has 13K ratings behind it against 143, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Coachella Official's written reviews are positive against 89% of Coldplay's.

Coachella Official ships an update every 3 weeks, Coldplay every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
