# DateStamper vs Lunova Player

The clearest difference is ratings volume: DateStamper at 9.3K against Lunova Player's 18. Lunova Player's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 74%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DateStamper sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Lunova Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for DateStamper against 4.9 for Lunova Player. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DateStamper has 9.3K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of DateStamper's written reviews are positive against 92% of Lunova Player's.

DateStamper ships an update monthly, Lunova Player every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
