LOCAL BY DESIGN Your audio is processed on your device, not uploaded to an online analysis service. No AudioShift account is required. Practice and export leave your original source audio unchanged. Bring audio you own or have permission to use; AudioShift does not include songs or download music from streaming services. Cloud-stored files must be downloaded for offline use. Purchases, restoring access and some optional downloads need internet. CHOOSE WHAT YOU NEED Free practice tools are available without a subscription. Pro is an optional monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. The purchase screen shows your local price and any eligible trial. Manage or cancel through your Apple Account. Bought the earlier paid app? Verified previous customers retain Legacy access, including song analysis, sound profiles, audio recording and full-song audio export, without a Pro subscription. New Pro features are optional. Analysis results are estimates. Instrument Focus and Element Reduction use EQ filtering, not stem separation. The Sound Meter is an estimate, not a certified measurement device. Hardware and format compatibility apply.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AudioShift at none against ChoirMate's 1. ChoirMate's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
