Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
WoodScaper
This app offers a versatile suite of four classic guitar effects: phaser, chorus/flanger, wah-wah, and tremolo. It provides extensive customization options for each effect, allowing for complex sound design and routing possibilities. It functions as both a standalone application and an AUv3 effect.
- Four classic guitar effects: phaser, chorus/flanger, wah-wah, tremolo
- Advanced LFO modulation with multiple waveforms and sync options
- Flexible routing: series, parallel, and custom combinations
- Stereo output from mono input
- AUv3 and standalone operation
- MIDI control for major parameters and preset switching
- iCloud Drive preset storage

WoodScaper combines into one unit the 4 classic guitar effects : phaser, chorus/flanger, wah-wah and tremelo. Besides the familiar controls each effect has some extra not-so-commonly-found options. The 4 effects can be routed in series (pedalboard mode), parallel (DAW mode) or some combinations of those modes. Panning or the Stereo control can create stereo sounds from a mono input source. WoodScaper is both stand-alone and an AUv3 effect. - All LFO’s can be set to different waveforms : Sine, Square, Saw Up, Saw Down, Triangle. - All LFO frequencies can be set to a bar fraction (1/4, 1/8 , …) of the BPM or can be set free to a specific rate (independent from the BPM). - All LFO phases can be reset with a button. - All effects have an On/Off (parallel routing) or On/Bypass (serial routing) switch like on a pedalboard. The switches can be toggled by Midi CC’s. - Phaser has settings for number of poles, frequency range and modulation flavour. - Phaser has second LFO to modulate filter Q. - Chorus has feedback, HighPass, LowPass and Saturation. - Wah-wah control can be LFO, Envelope, Envelope + LFO, side chain, Midi note velocity or Midi CC 1 (mod wheel). - Wah Envelope has Attack, Release and Threshold or Sensitivity controls. - Wah can go up or down. - Wah filter type and Q can be set. - Tremolo has 3 types : Amplitude, Ring or Harmonic. - Harmonic Tremolo has cross-over frequency control. - Tremolo has a Threshold control to have more tremolo when the signal increases. - Tremolo has “Biased Tremolo” mode to get more tremolo when the signal decreases. - Has a global Input and Output Gain control. - Has 2 extra LFO’s to modulate most parameters (rates, depths, …) - Modulation LFO’s have their own slew rate control and a random mode. - Presets can be stored in iCloud Drive (makes them available on all your devices). - Presets can be switched with Midi Program Changes or a Midi CC (up or down) - Major controls can be set with Midi CC messages.
resonatedo
This audio effect app allows for microtonal music creation with two independent resonator banks. Each resonator offers customizable pitch, volume, and modulation, with advanced filter controls and a mix slider for signal blending. It supports external MIDI input and features a detailed UI with multiple keyboard options.
- Dual microtonal resonator banks
- Independent pitch, volume, and modulation control
- Advanced filter and color parameters
- Detailed keyboard UI with note information
- MIDI input support
- Mix control for dry/processed signal

resonatedo is a microtonal resonator bank audio effect for iOS and macOS. It contains two sets of resonators controlled by separate keyboards. Each resonator has independent pitch (set by EDO division value of the keyboard), volume and modulation. Each resonator is a delay with feedback that contains lowpass + allpass and bandpass filters. Each set has a common "color" parameter that changes balance between these filter sets in each single resonator. The "mix" control allows crossfade from dry to fully processed signal. UI features two independent keyboards with: • 4 – 72 keys (voices, steps) per octave, each with its own ring modulator • maximum polyphony equal to the number of voices; max polyphony is 144 voices • 1 – 4 octave range, covering the frequency range of about 8 – 4200 Hz • display with note number (from C), note name, frequency (in Hz), and deviation from 12-TET (in cents) • two sections per keyboard: upper for non-sustained notes, gliding, and velocity; lower for sustained notes and modulation rate • mute button to stop/start all sound • delete/panic button to erase all notes • glide button for smooth sweeps across keyboard frequency range • modulation on/off button • slider to set initial velocity and modulation levels • slider to change velocity and modulation rates for all notes on the keyboard proportionally and to show current velocity and mod rate levels • button to toggle keyboard visibility. resonatedo supports MIDI input from external sources to control each keyboard independently.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: WoodScaper at every 3 weeks against resonatedo's every 40 months. WoodScaper also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). resonatedo's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $9.99) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). On rating, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
