# Tune.fm vs Bop

Tune.fm and Bop both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Bop's written reviews are positive against 45% of Tune.fm's. Bop also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2). Tune.fm's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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 — 5.0 for Tune.fm against 4.9 for Bop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bop has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Tune.fm's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bop's.

Tune.fm ships an update every 10 days, Bop every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
