Vinylo is a quiet, beautiful place to keep your record collection. Scan a sleeve. The album appears — artist, year, label, cover. Write down what you heard tonight. Watch the shelf grow. Made for people who actually listen to records, not just buy them. — Catalog your vinyl — • Scan barcodes on sleeves and inner labels — covers and metadata fill in for you. • Search the Discogs catalog by artist, title, or label. • Add anything by hand, the way you'd want it written. • Snap your own sleeve photos when the original isn't enough. — Listening journal — • Mark today's spin in two taps. Note the mood, the side, the room. • Look back at what an album has meant to you, not just that you own it. — Watch the shelf — • Daily snapshots of your collection's median market value. • See what's appreciating, what's quietly disappearing. • Pick your currency — USD, EUR, GBP, or RUB. — Wishlist — • Keep the next records on a separate shelf. Move them over when they arrive. — Yours, on your phone — • No accounts. No cloud sync you didn't ask for. • Backup to iCloud Drive through the Share Sheet, when you want to. • Dark, warm, easy on the eyes at night. — Free vs Premium — The free shelf holds 10 records, 30 journal entries, and the last 90 days of value history. When you've outgrown it, Vinylo Premium lifts every limit. — Subscription terms — Vinylo Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free period (when offered) is forfeited when a subscription is purchased. Lifetime is a one-time purchase. It is not a subscription and never renews. Privacy: https://vinylo.surge.sh/privacy Terms (Apple EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ — What Vinylo is not — Vinylo is not a streaming service. It does not play music. It does not recommend records to you. It does not post to social networks. It is a catalog and a journal for the records you already love. — A library worth keeping — Made for collectors. 2026.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Vinylo at 15.1 against Phys's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
