Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HollyAudio holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HollyAudio has 111 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of HollyAudio's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ulanzi Creator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HollyAudio ships an update every 3 weeks, Ulanzi Creator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
