Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mixing Station at Free against GyrOSC's $0.99. Mixing Station also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (624 vs 5). GyrOSC's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Mixing Station is free to download; GyrOSC costs $0.99 up front. Mixing Station sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. GyrOSC asks for nothing beyond the download.
GyrOSC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mixing Station has 624 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of GyrOSC's written reviews are positive against 78% of Mixing Station's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GyrOSC ships an update every 7 months, Mixing Station fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
