# Volume Booster vs Volume Master

The clearest difference is rating: Volume Master at 4.2 against Volume Booster's 3.6. Volume Master also leads on ads (none vs shown). Volume Booster's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (681 vs 201). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Volume Booster sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Volume Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Volume Master holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 681 and 201 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Volume Booster's written reviews are positive against 54% of Volume Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Volume Booster ships an update every 3 weeks, Volume Master every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
