Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Unhook at Free against Noiseless's $3.99. Unhook also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Noiseless's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
