Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MP3 Tag Editor at free with in-app purchases against stem player's subscription. MP3 Tag Editor also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and device support (4 vs 1). stem player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 40%). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MP3 Tag Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and stem player sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MP3 Tag Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 121 and 34 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of MP3 Tag Editor's written reviews are positive against 70% of stem player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MP3 Tag Editor ships an update every 2 weeks, stem player every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
