# Audio Ape Pro vs Easy Performer

The clearest difference is ads: Audio Ape Pro at none against Easy Performer's shown. Audio Ape Pro also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Easy Performer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (159 vs 26). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Audio Ape Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Easy Performer sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Audio Ape Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Performer has 159 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Audio Ape Pro's written reviews are positive against 67% of Easy Performer's.

Audio Ape Pro ships an update every 2 months, Easy Performer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
