PRISM is a quiet place to be together. Open the app and the Earth greets you where you live. Everyone listening right now stands on the globe as a beam of colored light, exactly where they really are, from Tokyo to Berlin to the town next door. No usernames. No profiles. No chat. Just light. Tap the globe and something rare happens: light leaves your beam, travels the curve of the planet to every listener on Earth, and lands as a small flare of warmth on theirs. Love and light, sent. That is the whole gesture, and it is enough. SEVEN WORLDS, ONE FOR EVERY STATE OF MIND Swipe between living rooms of light, each with its own music composed for the room, each tuned with a binaural beat for a different state of mind (headphones recommended): - GLOBE - the world listening together, gamma 40 Hz for deep work - RAINY TOKYO - a warm window on a rainy night, theta for unwinding - HORIZON - an endless dusk over water, alpha for calm - THE GRID - a neon wireframe road under a rising sun, beta for drive - GANZFELD - a single field of breathing color, delta for sleep - SKYSPACE - a knife-edged opening to a slowly deepening sky, alpha for presence - WEDGEWORK - veils of red and magenta light in a dark room, beta for focus TOUCH THE MUSIC The world is the timeline. Drag toward the horizon to move back through the song, drag toward yourself to move forward. Hold to charge the room, release for a shockwave. Pinch for depth. Tilt for parallax. On the globe, scrubbing spins the planet itself. NEVER ALONE PRISM has one global room, so there is always someone in the world with you. When someone new arrives, their light fades in. When you send light, they feel it. PRISM is free. Put on headphones, pick a world, and stay a while.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PRISM at 5.0 against Marshall's 3.0. PRISM also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). Marshall's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
