Holding the simplicity of eighties instruments and carrying their raw heritage to you, it turns your device into a pocket beat making companion. I believe that designing a pure interface, simply displaying your machine without any distraction, was the best way to reflect the spirit of the period it was born. Warning ! CR-8000 is actually very easy to operate and to play with but still tricky to program. Please refer to corresponding documentation or just take the challenge !

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CR at $5.99 against Auditor's $14.99. CR also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 70%) and device support (3 vs 1). Auditor's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Auditor costs $14.99 and CR $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Auditor holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 41 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Auditor's written reviews are positive against 90% of CR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Auditor ships an update monthly, CR every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
