# REC vs Microphone Wireless

The clearest difference is rating: Microphone Wireless at 5.0 against REC's 3.8. Microphone Wireless also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). REC's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. REC sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Microphone Wireless sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Microphone Wireless holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: REC has 70 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of REC's written reviews are positive against 50% of Microphone Wireless's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

REC ships an update monthly, Microphone Wireless every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
