# Hear the Power vs Engine Sounds

The clearest difference is rating: Hear the Power at 4.5 against Engine Sounds's 3.5. Hear the Power also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Engine Sounds's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Hear the Power holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Hear the Power's written reviews are positive against 100% of Engine Sounds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hear the Power ships an update every 7 months, Engine Sounds every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
