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 call

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.
