Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Audio at 5.0 against Hear Boost's 4.0. Audio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 19 months). Hear Boost's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hear Boost sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Audio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Audio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hear Boost has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Hear Boost ships an update every 19 months, Audio fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
