25 years of online radio, and an app built around one thing: how it sounds. SOUND THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE The whole app streams in HLS: the live feed starts instantly, adapts to your connection on its own and goes up to 256 kbps. The audio processing has been reworked specifically for digital listening: more depth, more dynamics, clear vocals and solid bass, on headphones, in the car or on a speaker. That's what 25 years as one of France's very first digital radio stations sounds like, on air online since 2001. 25 MUSIC CHANNELS To mark its 25th anniversary, Fréquence 3 went slightly mad and created 25 themed channels. They roll out over time, with formats you won't find elsewhere and channels hosted by people who know the craft, like PopXperience from Adrien Toma, a radio host and producer for many years. FREE, INDEPENDENT, NON-PROFIT Fréquence 3 is run by a French non-profit association. No shareholders, no media group behind it: just a team of enthusiasts and a free, independent, community-driven station. Every time you open the app, you keep it alive. WHERE TO LISTEN Online live, the Fréquence 3+ themed channels, and FM in Nord Touraine (99.0) and Loir-et-Cher (89.9). More to come in future updates. Enjoy the music.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fréquence 3 at 100% against BenQ Audio's 0%. Fréquence 3 also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). BenQ Audio's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
BenQ Audio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fréquence 3 has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Fréquence 3's written reviews are positive against 0% of BenQ Audio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
