Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tuner ∞ at 56% against Spectrum Analyzer's 5%. Tuner ∞ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). Spectrum Analyzer's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spectrum Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spectrum Analyzer has 197 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Tuner ∞'s written reviews are positive against 5% of Spectrum Analyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tuner ∞ ships an update every 2 months, Spectrum Analyzer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
