Verdict
B98.5 Atlanta and V103 both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of V103's written reviews are positive against 75% of B98.5 Atlanta's. B98.5 Atlanta's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
B98.5 Atlanta holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: B98.5 Atlanta has 36 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of B98.5 Atlanta's written reviews are positive against 100% of V103's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
B98.5 Atlanta ships an update every 6 weeks, V103 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and July 27, 2026 respectively.
