A SHELF OF DISCS ⢠Your Apple Music albums, stacked as real jewel cases ⢠Scroll through the stack and the room takes on the color of each cover ⢠Search your library or the whole Apple Music catalog for albums and playlists ⢠Filter the shelf by title or artist, sort it AāZ, or pull a random album A REAL MACHINE ⢠The case opens, the disc lands on the spindle and the lid clicks shut ⢠Dot-matrix display with track number and time ⢠Physical keys for previous, play, stop, next and eject ⢠Drag the spinning disc to scrub through a song, turn the knob for volume ⢠Mechanical sounds and haptics, on or off MAKE IT YOURS ⢠Four machine finishes: Porcelain, Aluminum, Sage and Sakura ⢠Printed discs with the album art, or silver data-side discs ⢠Light and dark mode, with a backdrop that follows the cover ⢠The controls fade away while a disc plays, leaving just the machine ⢠Turn your device sideways and the machine fills the screen LISTEN YOUR WAY ⢠Track list, repeat and shuffle ⢠AirPlay to speakers and headphones ⢠Sleep timer: 15 minutes to 1.5 hours, or the end of the disc ⢠Add albums from the catalog to your library in one tap ⢠With repeat off, the next album on the shelf plays on, like a disc changer Beatsy plays music through Apple Music. Playing catalog albums needs an Apple Music subscription. Your listening stays on this device; there is no account to create. BEATSY PRO Beatsy is free to download and play, and pause, skip and changing discs stay free. Without Pro, a short Pro introduction appears over the player after about 10 seconds of each disc and again after every third finished track; the music keeps playing and the introduction can be closed after a few seconds. One lifetime purchase unlocks all machine finishes, silver discs, the track list, the sleep timer and landscape mode, and the introduction no longer appears. No recurring subscription or free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation; restore with the same Apple Account. Apple Music catalog playback requires a separate Apple Music subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Euter at every 5 days against Retro CD Player's every 2 weeks. Retro CD Player's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
