Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: foobar2000 at none against Evermusic's 3. foobar2000 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 67%). Evermusic's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 223) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.6). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Evermusic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evermusic has 19K ratings behind it against 223, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Evermusic's written reviews are positive against 80% of foobar2000's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
