# Voice Builder vs Tone

The clearest difference is price: Tone at Free against Voice Builder's $4.99. Tone also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 118). Voice Builder's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (76% vs 59%). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Tone is free to download; Voice Builder costs $4.99 up front. Tone sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Voice Builder asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Voice Builder against 4.5 for Tone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tone has 10K ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Voice Builder's written reviews are positive against 59% of Tone's.

Voice Builder ships an update fortnightly, Tone every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
