RTA Pro is a real time audio spektrum analyzer. It turns your iOS device into a powerful audio test system usually seen only in audio research laboratories and music studios. Such instruments are used to analyze the frequency spectrum of ambient noise, e.g. to be able to pinpoint frequencies which cause rumble in a room. Another use is the level setting setting of PA systems for concerts. Features: RTA Pro requires iOS11 or later and has been calibrated for the microphones of most iPhones. Custom calibration is also possible. The frequency range is 32Hz to 16kHz. Linear display, as well as weightings for measuring dB(A) and dB(C) is provided. Apart from 1/3 Octave Bands and Octave Bands, RTA Pro also features the display of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The speed is adjustable to impulse, 128ms and 1 second.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Level at Free against RTA Pro's $5.99. Level also leads on ratings volume (746 vs 2) and iOS requirement (4.2 vs 17.6). RTA Pro's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Level is free to download; RTA Pro costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RTA Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Level has 746 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Level's written reviews are positive against 50% of RTA Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
