# LiveUp vs Noise Meter

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 device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveUp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Noise Meter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

LiveUp ships an update every 2 weeks, Noise Meter weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
