# Audio Unit Player vs AMI Player Pro

The clearest difference is price: Audio Unit Player at Free against AMI Player Pro's $2.99. Audio Unit Player also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). AMI Player Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Audio Unit Player is free to download; AMI Player Pro costs $2.99 up front. Audio Unit Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. AMI Player Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

Audio Unit Player holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Audio Unit Player has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Audio Unit Player's written reviews are positive against 100% of AMI Player Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Audio Unit Player ships an update every 2 weeks, AMI Player Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 21, 2026 respectively.
