# Radiate vs Jukeboxd

Radiate and Jukeboxd both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Jukeboxd's written reviews are positive against 64% of Radiate's. Jukeboxd also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Radiate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (31K vs 8). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radiate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Jukeboxd asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Radiate against 5.0 for Jukeboxd. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radiate has 31K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Radiate's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jukeboxd's.

Radiate ships an update fortnightly, Jukeboxd every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
