# Vinyl Solutions vs Listend

The clearest difference is rating: Listend at 5.0 against Vinyl Solutions's 3.8. Listend also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 38%). Vinyl Solutions's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (46 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vinyl Solutions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Listend sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Listend holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vinyl Solutions has 46 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Vinyl Solutions's written reviews are positive against 50% of Listend's.

Vinyl Solutions ships an update weekly, Listend every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
