# crowdDJ vs The Star

The clearest difference is rating: The Star at 5.0 against crowdDJ's 4.1. crowdDJ's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 5%) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

The Star holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: crowdDJ has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of crowdDJ's written reviews are positive against 5% of The Star's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

crowdDJ ships an update every 2 months, The Star monthly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
