# Voloco vs SoundLab

The clearest difference is ads: SoundLab at none against Voloco's shown. SoundLab also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Voloco's advantage is ratings volume (87K vs 15K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Voloco sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SoundLab sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Voloco against 4.6 for SoundLab. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voloco has 87K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Voloco's written reviews are positive against 65% of SoundLab's.

Voloco ships an update every 6 days, SoundLab weekly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
