Sungalizer is a live audio visualizer inspired by classic scopes, studio displays, and retro signal screens. Use it standalone with your microphone or a compatible connected audio source, or load it as an AUv3 audio effect in a compatible iOS or iPadOS music host. Incoming sound drives five real-time visual modes: Spectrum for frequency motion, Depth for dimensional landscapes, Trace for scrolling spectral memory, Scope for waveform display, and Quad for a combined view. Three preset slots let you save and recall visual setups. Adjust the controls, select slot A, B, or C, then tap Save. To restore a setup, select its slot and tap Load. The control rack keeps input and display settings close at hand. Double-tap the visual display to hide the right-hand rack for a full-screen view, then double-tap again to show the controls. Built for artists, musicians, and performers, Sungalizer turns synths, mixers, audio interfaces, live sets, voices, and routed tracks into expressive motion.
Tauscope

Tauscope makes sound visible. It expands an incoming audio waveform into three-dimensional space using delay coordinates, and draws its trajectory as a single line. Rather than converting volume into decoration, it visualizes the structure of the signal itself. Input — built-in microphone / audio interface Controls — τ (delay), gain, zoom, spin, trail Display — full-screen mode for live projection Platforms — iPhone / iPad / Mac Made for live projection and studio monitoring. It does not record, store, or transmit audio.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tauscope at $0.99 against Sungalizer's $3.99. Sungalizer's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
