# MultiTrack DAW vs SoundLab

The clearest difference is price: SoundLab at Free against MultiTrack DAW's $4.99. SoundLab also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 217). MultiTrack DAW's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

SoundLab is free to download; MultiTrack DAW costs $4.99 up front. MultiTrack DAW sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SoundLab sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SoundLab holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SoundLab has 14K ratings behind it against 217, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of MultiTrack DAW's written reviews are positive against 65% of SoundLab's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MultiTrack DAW ships an update fortnightly, SoundLab weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
