# Galaxy Player vs BeeJoy

The clearest difference is price: BeeJoy at Free against Galaxy Player's $2.99. BeeJoy also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and device support (6 vs 3).

BeeJoy is free to download; Galaxy Player costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

BeeJoy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Galaxy Player's written reviews are positive against 84% of BeeJoy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Galaxy Player ships an update every 3 weeks, BeeJoy fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
