Embeat is the native music player for your Emby or Jellyfin server. Enjoy your library just the way you organized it: artists, albums, tracks, genres and playlists, with cover art and metadata. • Gapless, lossless playback for FLAC and ALAC. • CarPlay. Browse and play your library from the car screen: recent, new, favorites and playlists, with cover art, the queue, and shuffle and repeat. Plus a tab with your downloads, which plays even when the server is out of reach. • Radio mode. When the queue runs out, Embeat keeps going on its own with music that fits what you were listening to. • Sleep timer. Tell it to stop in 15, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes and fall asleep to it: the countdown stays on screen. • Embeat Connect streams music to DLNA/UPnP devices on your local network, Sonos speakers included — gapless there too. • Download tracks, albums and playlists to listen offline, on your phone and in the car. • Choose a quality cap for mobile data and keep the original on Wi-Fi — gapless either way. • Multiple Emby and Jellyfin servers, with quick switching between them. • Global search, favorites that update themselves when you star something elsewhere, an editable queue, background playback and lock screen controls. • Ask Siri to play your music on Embeat. Sonos only accepts audio up to 48 kHz. If your library is hi-res, Embeat adapts it on the way there, keeping it lossless. Embeat connects directly to your server. It collects no data and shows no ads. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Emby, Jellyfin or Sonos. Embeat Annual — auto-renewable subscription. Length: 1 year. Price: €9.99 / year, with a 1-month free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account upon confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Uki Music at none against Embeat's 1. Uki Music also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
