# JStream vs Naki Audio

The clearest difference is update cadence: Naki Audio at every 5 weeks against JStream's every 19 months. JStream's advantage is ratings volume (204 vs 23) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

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