# Folder Music+ vs Car Audio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Folder Music+ at none against Car Audio's 2. Folder Music+ also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Car Audio's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 42%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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.
