# iMP3 vs Love Player

The clearest difference is rating: Love Player at 5.0 against iMP3's 4.4. Love Player also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). iMP3's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iMP3 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Love Player sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Love Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iMP3 has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iMP3 ships an update every 5 months, Love Player every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
