Stop the aux cord wars. Every party has one: the person who takes over the speaker and won't let go. JamVote fixes that. Guests vote on what plays next, the host stays in control, and the songs the room wants rise to the top. HOW IT WORKS • The host picks an Apple Music playlist and starts the party. • Guests open JamVote, see the party nearby and tap Join. No account, no sign-up. • Everyone gets votes. Tap a song to vote for it, tap again to take the vote back. • The songs with the most votes play next. THE HOST STAYS IN CHARGE • Press and hold any song to play it next, ahead of the vote. • Play, pause and skip right from the party screen. • The screen stays on and dims itself while the music plays. GUESTS JOIN THEIR WAY • Wi‑Fi: guests on the same network see the party as soon as they open the app. • Nearby Mode: guests connect straight to the host's device, no shared Wi‑Fi needed. • Web Guests: guests on the host's Wi‑Fi scan a QR code and vote from their browser, no app needed. FREE AND PREMIUM Hosting is free for the first 10 songs of any playlist, and guests are always free. Premium unlocks: • Full playlists of any length • Adding more playlists during the party • Nearby Mode and Web Guests • Shuffle and Crossfade Choose a monthly plan with a 3-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. GOOD TO KNOW • The host needs an Apple Music subscription. Guests don't. • Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. • No accounts. Parties run on your local network, directly between the host and guests, and nothing is saved after the party ends.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Tune at every 4 days against JamVote's every 2 months. Tune also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
