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

DRIFT is a saturation plugin with a wandering soul. The distortion curve doesn't sit still — it shifts continuously, driven by the Drift parameter, so your signal is never processed the same way twice. Warm and musical at low settings. Gritty and unpredictable pushed hard. Everything in between. — DRIVE — Pushes the signal into saturation. From gentle warmth to hard clipping. — DRIFT — The wandering parameter. Steers the saturation curve continuously over time — the higher it goes, the more the character shifts. — DEPTH — Controls how far the curve travels from its center position. More depth, more variation. — SPREAD — Widens the drift behavior between left and right channels for stereo movement. — REACT — How quickly the curve responds to transients. Low React for smooth, gradual drift. High React for transient-following distortion. — TONE — Post-saturation tonal shaping. Roll off highs or open up the top end after the drive. — MIX — Dry/wet blend for parallel saturation. — OUTPUT — Final output level after saturation and tone shaping. — AUv3 PLUGIN — Run DRIFT inside AUM, ApeMatrix, Audiobus, or any AUv3 host. Multiple instances, each with independent settings. — WORKS ON — iPhone and iPad, all modern screen sizes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GalileoTuner at Free against Drift's $1.99. GalileoTuner also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Drift's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 33 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
