Transform your iPhone or iPad into a professional audio analysis workstation. Audiolyze delivers real-time spectrum analysis, waterfall spectrograms, and oscilloscope visualization with the precision tools you need for sound engineering, acoustic analysis, and audio production. SPECTRUM ANALYZER Visualize audio frequencies in real-time with a high-resolution FFT spectrum analyzer. Choose from multiple display modes (dB, Amplitude, Power) and trace styles (smooth spline curves, linear, or classic bars). Switch between logarithmic and linear frequency scales, and select from multiple constant-Q resolutions for RTA analysis, from 1 octave down to 1/24 octave precision. WATERFALL SPECTROGRAM Track how your audio evolves over time with a scrolling 2D spectrogram display. Capture up to 20 seconds of frequency history to identify temporal patterns, transients, and spectral changes that a standard analyzer would miss. OSCILLOSCOPE Examine waveforms in the time domain with a responsive oscilloscope view. Multiple trigger modes (rising edge, falling edge, auto, free-run) help you capture stable waveforms, with adjustable amplitude scaling and trigger threshold controls. HARMONIC ANALYSIS Automatically detect and display harmonics with intelligent fundamental frequency tracking. View overtone relationships, cent deviations, and harmonic order labels overlaid directly on the spectrum — valuable for tuning, voicing, and timbre analysis. SPL REFERENCE LEVELS View relative sound pressure level readings with a built-in SPL meter. Calibrate against an external reference meter to align readings, with optional Z-weighting (flat response) or A-weighting (human hearing curve). Provided for reference and comparison; not a substitute for a certified, type-approved sound level meter. ADVANCED SIGNAL PROCESSING - Multiple FFT sizes (512 to 4096 samples) - Selectable window functions: Hann, Blackman-Harris, Flat-Top - Configurable frame overlap (0-75%) for improved averaging - Rolling window and exponential smoothing modes - High-pass and low-pass filters with adjustable slopes (6/12/18 dB per octave) CUSTOMIZE YOUR WORKFLOW - Peak hold display with decay - Snapshot comparison for before/after analysis - Visual glow effects for enhanced readability - Sparse or dense grid overlays - Save and recall custom presets for each visualization mode FOR SOUND ENGINEERS & MUSICIANS Whether you're a sound engineer tuning a PA system, a musician analyzing instrument tone, a podcaster optimizing room acoustics, or an audio enthusiast exploring the science of sound, Audiolyze provides the analytical depth you need in a beautiful, intuitive interface. EVERYTHING UNLOCKED Every feature is available from the moment you launch. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no paywalls, and no ads. Works on iPhone and iPad. Optimized for performance with GPU-accelerated Metal rendering. Available in 13 languages.

See what sound looks like with Wavevra. Wavevra combines real-time audio analysis with expressive audio-reactive visuals and a creator-focused Studio. Explore sound as it happens, record audio or video, import existing media, shape the result, and export videos directly on your iPhone. SEE SOUND IN REAL TIME Watch your audio come to life through Wave, Spectrum, Radial, and Flow visual styles. Wavevra uses real audio analysis to drive its visuals. Explore dominant frequencies, RMS and peak levels in dBFS, headroom, frequency bands, and strong frequency peaks. For a more technical view, switch between Spectrum, Spectrogram, and Waveform. CREATE YOUR LOOK Choose from multiple visual styles and color palettes. Adjust intensity and smoothness to shape the motion and appearance of your visual. Wavevra Pro unlocks additional visual styles, palettes, and creator options. RECORD OR IMPORT Use your microphone for live analysis and recordings. Capture video with your camera or import supported audio and video files already on your device. Imported media is analyzed locally and can be opened directly in Studio. EDIT IN STUDIO Play back your media, move through the timeline, choose the part you want to export, and adjust the presentation. Use layouts including visual-only, split, side-by-side, and overlay compositions. Choose from multiple aspect ratios including: • 9:16 for Shorts and Reels • 16:9 for YouTube and landscape video • 1:1 for square content • 4:5 for portrait content EXPORT AND SHARE Create finished videos from your audio-reactive visuals. Share your exports, save them to Photos, or save them through Files. Wavevra Pro adds longer recording and export options, measurement overlays in exported videos, additional creative options, and removes Wavevra export branding. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Wavevra does not require an account. Your audio, video, analysis data, projects, and exports are processed on your device. Wavevra does not use advertising, tracking, or analytics. FREE TO USE Wavevra remains useful without a subscription. Live analysis, technical analyzer views, local projects, recording, Studio, and core export features are available in Free. Wavevra Pro expands the creative and export capabilities of the app through monthly or yearly subscriptions available through the App Store. Wavevra reports digital audio levels such as dBFS. It is not a calibrated sound level meter and does not report dB SPL.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Audiolyze at none against Wavevra's 2. Audiolyze also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
