Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Applausemeter at none against dB Noise Meter's shown. Applausemeter also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 15%). dB Noise Meter's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (125 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

dB Noise Meter holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dB Noise Meter has 125 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Applausemeter's written reviews are positive against 15% of dB Noise Meter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Applausemeter ships an update every 5 months, dB Noise Meter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
