Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mic Test at 4.3 against Simple Microphone's 2.6. Mic Test also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (76 vs 14). Simple Microphone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Mic Test holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mic Test has 76 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Simple Microphone's written reviews are positive against 27% of Mic Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple Microphone ships an update every 15 months, Mic Test monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
