Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Microphone at 4.2 against Megaphone's 2.8. Microphone also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). Megaphone's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 29%) and ratings volume (593 vs 107). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Megaphone sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Microphone sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microphone holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Megaphone has 593 ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Megaphone's written reviews are positive against 29% of Microphone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Megaphone ships an update every 3 months, Microphone every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
