Pevvela

Pevvela turns nearby iPhones into a Speaker Group so you can play the same Local Library track in sync. Create a group on one phone. Others join over Wi-Fi or a direct device-to-device link — no shared router required, and the audio does not go through our servers or use mobile data for that transfer. Joining a group is free. Creating a group includes a short free trial. Pevvela Plus ($2.99/month) unlocks unlimited hosting. Apple Music in Pevvela is for listening on this device. It is not shared in Speaker Group. No account. No feed. Just your files, alone or together.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Harman Kardon Controller at none against Pevvela's 1. Harman Kardon Controller also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Pevvela's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
