# Voicy Studio vs PIVOT

The clearest difference is rating: PIVOT at 4.9 against Voicy Studio's 1.0. PIVOT also leads on ratings volume (116 vs 1). Voicy Studio's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PIVOT sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Voicy Studio asks for nothing beyond the download.

PIVOT holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PIVOT has 116 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Voicy Studio's written reviews are positive against 65% of PIVOT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Voicy Studio ships an update fortnightly, PIVOT weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
