Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AudioStretch Lite at 73% against Mixy's 27%. AudioStretch Lite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and device support (3 vs 1). Mixy's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mixy holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mixy has 19K ratings behind it against 621, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of AudioStretch Lite's written reviews are positive against 27% of Mixy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AudioStretch Lite ships an update every 3 months, Mixy fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
