Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LiveUp at 88% against Noise Meter's 50%. LiveUp also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 2). Noise Meter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Noise Meter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveUp has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of LiveUp's written reviews are positive against 50% of Noise Meter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LiveUp ships an update fortnightly, Noise Meter weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
