# MP3 Converter vs Audio Editor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MP3 Converter at 83% against Audio Editor's 45%. MP3 Converter also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (48K vs 3.9K). Audio Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MP3 Converter sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Audio Editor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MP3 Converter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MP3 Converter has 48K ratings behind it against 3.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of MP3 Converter's written reviews are positive against 45% of Audio Editor's.

MP3 Converter ships an update every 5 weeks, Audio Editor every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
