Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WEFT FM at 100% against Bandcamp's 51%. WEFT FM also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1). Bandcamp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (38K vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

WEFT FM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Bandcamp's written reviews are positive against 100% of WEFT FM's.
Bandcamp ships an update every 3 weeks, WEFT FM every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
