Bubbles is an unusual filter bank effect plugin (AUv3 and Standalone) aimed at experimental sound design. You can use up to 10 band pass filters, represented by bubbles in the UI, with controllable resonance. Each band can have a dedicated delay with feedback. You can spread the cutoff, resonance, delay time, and delay feedback across each band to get very creative effects, from odd-sounding echoes/reverbs to impossible sequences.
Tauscope
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tauscope makes sound visible. It expands an incoming audio waveform into three-dimensional space using delay coordinates, and draws its trajectory as a single line. Rather than converting volume into decoration, it visualizes the structure of the signal itself. Input — built-in microphone / audio interface Controls — τ (delay), gain, zoom, spin, trail Display — full-screen mode for live projection Platforms — iPhone / iPad / Mac Made for live projection and studio monitoring. It does not record, store, or transmit audio.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tauscope at $0.99 against Things's $6.99. Things's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
