Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side β with what reviewers say about each.
OverTune
Read full descriptionHide full description
Standard tuners detect one frequency. OverTune detects three. Most acoustic instruments β and handpans in particular β produce a fundamental pitch together with an octave and a compound fifth. Bringing all three into precise alignment is what defines a well-tuned instrument. OverTune gives each overtone its own dedicated panel, analyzing them independently and simultaneously in real time. THREE INDEPENDENT PANELS Select any note from C1 to B7. OverTune configures three panels automatically: β’ Panel 1 β Fundamental β’ Panel 2 β Octave (2Γ fundamental) β’ Panel 3 β Compound fifth (3Γ fundamental, one octave + a perfect fifth) Each panel runs its own FFT spectral analysis with an adjustable frequency range, so you can focus exactly where you need to. WHAT EACH PANEL CONTAINS β’ Needle gauge β Β±50 cent scale, spring-animated, with an in-tune zone at Β±5 cents β’ Stroboscope β an animated pattern behind the needle that scrolls with pitch deviation and freezes when perfectly in tune. Choose from chevron, sine wave, or square styles β’ Frequency spectrum β logarithmic display with draggable range bounds and adjustable amplitude threshold β’ Note history β a rolling time graph showing tuning stability. Horizontal mode covers Β±2 semitones; Vertical mode covers Β±6 semitones with time flowing top to bottom β’ Reference tone β press and hold the speaker icon to hear a pure sine wave at that panel's target frequency. Double-tap to lock continuous playback INSTRUMENT PRESETS Filter the note selector to the exact notes of your instrument: β’ 21 handpan scale layouts β Kurd, Integral, Hijaz, Celtic, Pygmy, Akebono, and more β’ 20 musical scales β Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Blues, Modes, and World scales β’ 13 string instrument tunings β Guitar, Bass, Violin, Cello, Ukulele, and more TUNING TEMPERAMENT With an instrument preset active, compare your pitch against historical tuning systems instead of standard 12-TET: β’ Just Intonation β pure integer ratios β’ Pythagorean β chain of pure 3:2 fifths β’ Meantone (ΒΌ-comma) β pure 5:4 major thirds β’ Custom β define your own cent offsets for all 12 scale degrees EVERYTHING ELSE β’ A4 reference pitch adjustable from 400 to 480 Hz β’ Sharp or flat accidental notation β your choice β’ Focus modes: Narrow (full range) or Tight (Β±2 semitones from target) β’ Microphone selection for external audio inputs β’ Keep screen on during tuning sessions β’ Dark, light, or system appearance BUILT FOR HANDPAN BUILDERS Tuning a handpan means bringing the Doum (fundamental), Tak (octave), and compound fifth into harmonic alignment β one note at a time, strike after strike. OverTune was designed specifically for this workflow. Select a note, watch all three overtones simultaneously, and track your corrections over time with the history graph. FREE TO TRY OverTune includes 30 minutes of free daily use. A subscription unlocks all three panels with unlimited daily tuning time.
Easy Audio Spectrogram

Easy Audio Spectrogram is a simple real-time audio visualizer for microphone input. It shows live spectrogram and frequency spectrum views, helping you explore voices, instruments, music, room noise, and everyday sounds. The app is built around readability. Instead of adjusting gain values in the blind or fight a fixed color range, Easy Audio Spectrogram lets you adjust the graphβs dynamic range in real time. Use the live spectrum display as a guide, drag the color scale to the range you care about, and instantly get a clearer spectrogram. For music and voice, the app includes a note-based frequency scale and real-time pitch detection, making it easier to see sung notes, instrument pitch, harmonics, and resonance as they happen. The interface is minimal and comfortable to use in any orientation, even upside down. Text and icons rotate, but controls stay where they are, so the app remains easy to use whether the phone is in your hand, on a table, or pointed toward a sound source. You do not have to understand what's an FFT to use this app, the default setting works well and engineering settings have been translated to understandable concepts. You can save clean spectrogram screenshots directly from the app, without the buttons covering the image and without pressing hardware button combinations. This app is free to use, free of pop-ups or advertisement banners, use it to explore music or the science of acoustics. Additional Features: -Noise profile removal, hold the button to record a profile, release to activate. -Analyze harmonics in real time with multi-touch. -Psychoacoustic filter to make the graph reflect perceived sound signature rather than flat physical reality. -Optimized performance for many hours of use without heating up your device or draining the battery.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Easy Audio Spectrogram at none against OverTune's 2. OverTune's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.2 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
