Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Libib at none against Vinyle's 2. Libib also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 18). Vinyle's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Libib holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Libib has 1.2K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Libib's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vinyle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Libib ships an update fortnightly, Vinyle every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
