Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Audio Visualize at Free against Flash Metro's $1.99. Audio Visualize also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and review sentiment (62% vs 50%). Flash Metro's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
