Competitor columns are drawn from each app's public App Store listing and version history, checked on September 13, 2026: Discogs 3.22.0, CLZ Music 11.0.8, My Vinyl+ 4.3.8, Record Scanner 1.12.3, VinylBox 3.13. Mac (Native) counts only apps built for macOS; iPad or iPhone apps running on Apple silicon Macs are marked ~. Corrected that day: earlier versions of this table understated My Vinyl+, VinylBox, CLZ Music, Record Scanner and the Discogs app on several rows.
