Echo Pitch pitch-shifting multi-delay for iPad and iPhone! Echo Pitch has 4 delays where each delayed signal can be pitched one octave up or down in 1/2 steps, and can function as a 4-voice harmonizer. Echo Pitch also has a built-in freeze loop, amp simulator and reverb. Each of the four delays can be routed into the other for incredible, swirling, ambient washes and otherworldly sounds. Echo Pitch works best with an iOS-compatible audio interface. Echo Pitch is also AUM/Audiobus compatible - as Inter-App Audio or Audio Unit. (Please note that the standalone/IAA version of Echo Pitch is now legacy. While the AU Echo Pitch has the same functionality, the pitch shifting is far superior. In addition, there are sonic differences between the Reverb, Master Delay EQ, Delay drives in the AU vs the Standalong/IAA version. But you get both updated AU and legacy IAA. Use whichever you prefer!) Brought to you by Avi Bortnick and Maximos Kaliakatsos-Papakostas.

UPISketch is a sound composition tool, which is based on drawing: the user can sketch and design sound gestures by defining their melodic contour, as in the case of a conventional score. Pitches are, nevertheless, drawn directly at specific time points, without requiring any knowledge of solfege. UPISketch is intended to be simple and intuitive.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: UPISketch at Free against Echo Pitch's $4.99. UPISketch also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Echo Pitch's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

UPISketch is free to download; Echo Pitch costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Echo Pitch holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo Pitch has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Echo Pitch's written reviews are positive against 100% of UPISketch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Echo Pitch ships an update every 2 weeks, UPISketch every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
