Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Go Button at 4.6 against Soundcool OSC's 4.0. Go Button also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (174 vs 1). Soundcool OSC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Button sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Soundcool OSC asks for nothing beyond the download.
Go Button holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Button has 174 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Go Button's written reviews are positive against 100% of Soundcool OSC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Go Button ships an update every 6 weeks, Soundcool OSC every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
