Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fish Helper Pro at 100% against Decibel Meter's 57%. Fish Helper Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). Decibel Meter's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 37 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Decibel Meter sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Fish Helper Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
Decibel Meter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Decibel Meter has 715 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Decibel Meter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fish Helper Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Decibel Meter ships an update every 6 weeks, Fish Helper Pro every 37 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
