# vinylover vs Kept

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kept at 100% against vinylover's 43%. Kept also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). vinylover's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. vinylover sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Kept sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kept holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: vinylover has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of vinylover's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kept's.

vinylover ships an update fortnightly, Kept weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
