# BlueMe Player vs Car Audio

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Car Audio at 76% against BlueMe Player's 2%. Car Audio also leads on rating (4.0 vs 1.0). BlueMe Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlueMe Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Car Audio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Car Audio holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlueMe Player has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 2% of BlueMe Player's written reviews are positive against 76% of Car Audio's.

BlueMe Player ships an update fortnightly, Car Audio every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
