# Voice recorder vs Audio Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Voice recorder at 4.6 against Audio Editor's 3.0. Voice recorder also leads on ratings volume (7.5K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Audio Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Voice recorder sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Audio Editor sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Voice recorder holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Voice recorder has 7.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Voice recorder ships an update monthly, Audio Editor every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
