Wavrift converts audio files on your device in seconds — no uploads, no account, no limits on basic use. Drop in a file, pick your format, tap Convert. That's it. — WHAT MAKES WAVRIFT DIFFERENT — • Conversion happens on device Your audio is decoded and re-encoded locally and never leaves your iPhone. • The formats people actually need M4A, WAV and MP4 in the base app, plus FLAC lossless with Pro. • FLAC at 24-bit Pro writes FLAC at 24-bit depth, so an archival copy keeps its headroom. • Video to audio, instantly Import or share any video and keep just the audio track, in the format you need. • Quality that doesn't degrade Exports keep the source's sample rate and channels by default — nothing gets quietly downsampled. • Batch, not one at a time Pro lets you select several files and convert the whole set in one pass. • A history you can look back at Every conversion stays in a list with its source format, target format, and file size. • No account anywhere Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sync, and it works with no network at all. — WHO IS WAVRIFT FOR? — • Podcasters and interviewers turning recordings into the format their editor wants • Musicians archiving WAV sessions as 24-bit FLAC • Anyone handed an M4A that some other app refuses to open • People who would rather not upload personal audio to a conversion website — PRICING — Included: on-device conversion between M4A, WAV and MP4, and the full conversion history. Wavrift Pro is a one-time in-app purchase — no subscription — and adds batch conversion of several files at once, FLAC lossless export at 24-bit, no file size limits, and any future formats. — FEEDBACK — Made by a small indie team. Email obeliskclubclub@gmail.com with feedback, bug reports, or feature requests. Note: MP3 and OGG export are not offered, because Apple's built-in audio encoder does not write them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scribr. at none against Wavrift's 1. Scribr. also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
