Galileo is a music tuner. Earth mode shows the pitch by chromatic scale in circle.(Please set the microphone on). Jupiter mode shows detailed pitch in smaller circle. When the red mark in the opposite side of "50" aligns with the red arrow bellow the smaller circle, it produces equal temperament pitch. The two smaller red marks on both side of the red mark shows just intonation of major 3rd (-) and minor 3rd (+). ※For monophonic instrument

( THIS IS AN AUDIOUNIT. AudioUnits are app extensions, requiring an audio host application to perform. ) Use the same AudioUnits across all modern Apple devices, including the iPhone , the Vision Pro and the Mac (Apple Silicon). Native MacOS apps like GarageBand, MainStage 3 and Logic Pro X are tested and supported. Any 3rd-party AUv3 supporting host should be able to host the plugin too. The JAX ESSENTIAL SERIES Chorus is a multi stage chorus modulation effect that uses multiple copies of the audio signal, micro pitch shifted, to produce all kinds of the famous chorus effect. A low frequency oscillator modulates depth and speed of the pitch shift on both stereo channels for various living and moving sound nuances. Make static sounding voices more interesting or create swirrling special effects. You may share the presets for this effect across all your supported devices. Around 200 factory presets are included, you can make and export/import your own. The manual is included and can be previewed on our support website. For advanced usage (i.e. mastering and exciting), we recommend to select the chorus from our SELECTIVE RANGE SERIES, which allows to limit the frequency range for processing. This build is truly 'universal', meaning, the audio unit is available for: - iOS (all actual iPhones) - iPadOS (all actual iPads) - macOS (Apple Silicon) - visionOS (Apple Vision Pro) Requirements: MacOS 10.15++ iOS 14.0++ Behaviour on all devices is identical. The parametric interface is resizeble and adopts to any screen size and orientation. This especially applies to Logic Pro X and all hosts with adjustable window sizes on all platforms. Display contrast can be adjusted freely and is now saved with each preset.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GalileoTuner at Free against JAX ESSENTIALS's $4.99. GalileoTuner also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). JAX ESSENTIALS's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 33 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
