ANILOG is bursting onto the scene with a totally new approach to making synthesized instruments---this isn't your typical analog synth. Designed by musicians and battle-tested in live performance, ANILOG is a mobile powerhouse! It's great for vintage video game, chiptune, and synth pop music. Perform live music sets with pattern looping and cueing. Load ANILOG in your favorite DAW as an Audio Unit plugin! (ANILOG supports most AUv3 hosts.) For each instance of ANILOG you can choose single instruments in Instrument Mode, or set to Sequencer Mode to play more complex backing tracks. ANILOG is also fully Audiobus and Inter-App Audio compatible. Combine 3 oscillators and a noise envelope to produce bright 80s-style synths, rich deep bass, punchy kicks and snares, a variety of screaming leads, and even breathy woodwinds! It's loaded with 168 hand-crafted presets that respond to touch velocity on the on-screen keyboard or an attached MIDI keyboard. The built-in multi-track sequencer lets you play up to 32 voices simultaneously with per-track reverb and volume send levels. Each song contains its own instrument patch library so you can create the perfect sound. Compose and share songs wherever you are. Speed up your editing by attaching a hardware keyboard. Also supports cool effects like a built-in echo tank and sidechain ducking. This is the ultimate analog workstation that fits in your pocket or on the stage. * Audio Units version 3 (AUv3) compatible * Up to 32 voices * 168 factory preset programs, 168 extra user program storage * 3 oscillators and 1 noise generator per voice * Velocity-sensitive envelopes and properties * 16-track sequencer with import and export * Looping, next-pattern selection, and track mute toggle buttons for live performance * Built-in echo tank, sidechain effect, randomized detuning for warmth * Export/import instrument settings to JSON to share with your friends * Designed for the iPhone, and scales up to an iPad (even in windowed mode) * On-screen note keyboard that can be hidden * Plug in MIDI keyboard * Rad "dark" look that makes it easy to see on stage * Attach a hardware keyboard for enhanced editing shortcuts, use window mode on iPad * Audiobus compatible, IAA compatible

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Acaville at Free against ANILOG's $5.99. Acaville also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 26.0). ANILOG's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Acaville is free to download; ANILOG costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Acaville holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ANILOG has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Acaville's written reviews are positive against 70% of ANILOG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Acaville ships an update every 23 months, ANILOG every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
