Verdict

The call

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.
