# Trapp vs Audio Editor

The clearest difference is ads: Trapp at none against Audio Editor's shown. Trapp also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). Audio Editor's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (42% vs 21%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trapp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Audio Editor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Audio Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Audio Editor has 31K ratings behind it against 3.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
