Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Symphony at 4.2 against Audrexa's 3.7. Symphony also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 3). Audrexa's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Symphony holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Symphony has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Symphony's written reviews are positive against 67% of Audrexa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
