# Voloco vs Async Recording

The clearest difference is rating: Voloco at 4.8 against Async Recording's 4.2. Voloco also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 26%) and ratings volume (86K vs 543). Async Recording's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Voloco sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Async Recording sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Voloco holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voloco has 86K ratings behind it against 543, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Voloco's written reviews are positive against 26% of Async Recording's.
