RADIO CREEP: Audio Signal Analyzer transforms your iPhone into a professional-grade acoustic analysis tool. Built with Apple’s high-performance Accelerate Framework (vDSP), it enables researchers, audio engineers, and students to record audio and instantly generate core signal processing metrics for deep insights into sound dynamics. Key features include: - Real-time recording and analysis: Record up to 90 seconds of audio directly on your device. The app analyzes the recording rapidly upon stopping. - Loudness dynamics (RMS profile): View a detailed plot of the Root Mean Square (RMS) energy over time, showing normalized loudness dynamics and identifying patterns of steady sound (music) versus transient spikes (speech/sports commentary). - Acoustic stability score: Automatically calculates a stability metric based on the variance of the RMS energy, predicting the content type (scores below approx 0.15 indicate steady Music; higher scores suggest dynamic Talk/Sports). - Frequency fingerprint (Average FFT): Instantly compute and plot the Average Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) magnitude spectrum, revealing characteristic frequency components masked.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: radioCREEP at none against SimpleFFT's 1. radioCREEP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 7 months vs every 18 months). SimpleFFT's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price there is nothing between them.
