# Play vs Multiroom System

The clearest difference is rating: Play at 4.5 against Multiroom System's 1.0. Play also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 3). Multiroom System's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Play holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Play has 3.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Play's written reviews are positive against 0% of Multiroom System's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
