*** Note *** Although mLFO can run as a stand-alone app, the recommended way to use it is as an AUv3 plugin from inside a suitable AU Host app, such as AUM, AudioBus, Cubasis etc. mLFO AUv3 is a set of 16 programmable MIDI LFOs with a extensive set of features: - Multiple parameters per LFO, including variability. - Independent output and MIDI channel per LFO. - Wide rate range, from 1/128 to 130442 beats. - 9 factory and 16 user shapes. - Custom shapes: free and ADSR. - 4 trigger modes, including random retrigger (every incoming note triggers a random LFO). - MIDI Thru. mLFO uses parts of the following copyrighted material, the use of which is hereby acknowledged.

LFOH!
This app is an advanced LFO tool that enhances classic cycling envelopes with unique shaping and morphing features. It functions as both an audio processor and a MIDI modulator, offering extensive control over modulation signals.
- Morphable and selectable waveforms
- Advanced waveform shaping
- Sample and Hold circuit
- Audio amplitude modulation
- MIDI CC output
- AUv3 extension

LFOH! is an augmented, stunning (as the name suggests!), LFO which enhances the possibilities of the classic cycling envelope by adding control over a set of advanced and unique features. LFOH! is a single oscillator LFO and has a set of continuously morphable and selectable waveforms that represents the core of its modulation signal. Apart from the classic frequency and phase parameters (which make it capable of all of the classic modulation stuff), the waveform can also be shaped by swinging its cycles, bending its curve, squeezing portions of oscillation in the same period of time, scaled and transformed while exceeding its boundaries. An additional Sample and Hold circuit provides quantization for the resulting signal. A tool you already know, with the most advanced features: simple and powerful. LFOH! is both an audio processor and a MIDI modulator: while is capable to send its modulation signal out as MIDI CC (according to the MIDI routing flexibility of the app that hosts it), it can also modulate the amplitude of incoming audio. *** Please note: LFOH! is an Audio Unit extension (AUv3) – it only works in an AUv3 host app like AUM, Drambo, Cubasis, etc... ***

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: mLFO at 80% against LFOH!'s 63%. LFOH!'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and price ($3.99 vs $5.99). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
mLFO costs $5.99 and LFOH! $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LFOH! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of mLFO's written reviews are positive against 63% of LFOH!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
