Verdict
Laneway Festival and Discogs both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 40% of Discogs's written reviews are positive against 8% of Laneway Festival's. Discogs also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 1) and chart position (#138 vs unranked). Laneway Festival's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Laneway Festival holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discogs has 67K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Laneway Festival's written reviews are positive against 40% of Discogs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Laneway Festival ships an update weekly, Discogs every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
