# uLouder vs Urbansurf

The clearest difference is rating: Urbansurf at 5.0 against uLouder's 4.3. Urbansurf also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). uLouder's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 71%) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. uLouder sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Urbansurf sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Urbansurf holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uLouder has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of uLouder's written reviews are positive against 71% of Urbansurf's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

uLouder ships an update every 2 months, Urbansurf weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
