Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Audien IQ at 4.0 against Royal Hearing's 2.0. Audien IQ also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 13%). Royal Hearing's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
