One app for your focus and your sleep. Block the apps that pull your attention away, and fill the quiet with music made to hold it. Stay focused during the day, rest undisturbed at night. THE LIBRARY Music chosen for the job, not the mood. Composed for focus – no vocals, no drops, nothing that asks to be noticed. Ambient, lofi, classical and piano for deep work, 432Hz and 528Hz brainwaves, white noise and sleep cycles for winding down. Find your style and come back to it. MIX SOUNDS Layer rain, ocean, fire or thunder under any track, each at the level you like. APP BLOCKING Choose the apps that derail you and they're locked for the session. Nothing gets through until you're done. Set a Focus or Sleep Shield and it runs on schedule, without you thinking about it. TIMERS THAT FIT YOUR RHYTHM Timeboxed, pomodoro, custom end-time, or an open session you end whenever you like. SHORTCUTS Save a setup – intent, sound, timer and blocked apps – and start it in one tap from anywhere on your phone. ALSO INSIDE • To-dos beside the session, so you know what the hour is for • Goals, streaks and insights, if you like tracking • Strict mode, for sessions you'd rather not be able to cut short • Works with Spotify and Apple Music Play around, try new features, and make Soundscape yours.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Upspace at none against Soundscape's shown. Upspace also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Soundscape's advantage is review sentiment (98% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Upspace sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and Soundscape sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Soundscape holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soundscape has 5.7K ratings behind it against 144, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Upspace's written reviews are positive against 98% of Soundscape's.
Upspace ships an update fortnightly, Soundscape every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
