Both are free to download. Car Audio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Folder Music+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Folder Music+ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Folder Music+ has 36 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Folder Music+'s written reviews are positive against 76% of Car Audio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Folder Music+ ships an update every 11 days, Car Audio every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
