Turn your volume to MAX 2. Tap Water Eject 3. Hold your phone with the speaker facing down 4. Watch the water vibrate out FEATURES • Water Eject — a 165 Hz low-frequency tone shakes water out of the speaker mesh (free) • Deep Clean — a 120–480 Hz frequency sweep dislodges dust and stubborn droplets (Pro) • Speaker Test — left / right channel tones to check if your speaker is healthy (Pro) WHY THIS APP • One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. No account. • Works completely offline — nothing leaves your phone. • No microphone access. We collect zero data. If your speaker sounds muffled, quiet, or crackly after getting wet, run Water Eject a few times before paying for a repair. It's the first thing to try.
DripOut

Wet, muffled or crackly speaker? DripOut helps get your iPhone or iPad speaker sounding clear again after a splash, a rainy walk or a dusty pocket. One tap starts a cleaning program built from a ladder of held tones, from deep 20 Hz bass pulses up to 2 kHz. The low tones move the speaker membrane as far as it can travel, which helps shake droplets off the grille mesh. The upper tones help lift dry lint and dust. One program does both jobs, so there is nothing to configure. HOW TO USE 1. Turn the volume all the way up. 2. Hold your phone with the speaker facing down. 3. Tap Eject and let the session run. Repeat if the sound is still muffled. WHAT'S INSIDE • Water and dust cleaning: one tuned program, run in 15-second passes • Stereo speaker test: play the left and right speakers one at a time and confirm each • Sound meter: live decibel reading with peak and average, 25 to 120 dB • Cleaning reminders: a nudge on your schedule, from every 2 weeks to every 12 months • Last-clean card: see when you last cleaned at a glance • Headphone safety: sessions pause when headphones connect, so a tone never plays into your ears DRIPOUT PRO • Apple Watch app: clear water from your watch speaker, right from your wrist • Unlimited cleaning sessions • Choose your session length, from 30 to 90 seconds • Frequency Lab: play bass, low-mid, mid, upper-mid and treble bands (60 Hz to 12 kHz) or a full sweep to find the range that sounds weak • Tone generator: any frequency from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms Every install includes one free 30-second cleaning session, so you can try it before subscribing. The speaker test, sound meter and reminders are free. GOOD TO KNOW • DripOut plays loud, low tones. Keep the phone away from your ears during a session. • Sound can help clear water and debris from the speaker opening. It cannot repair liquid damage inside a device. If your device was submerged, follow Apple Support's guidance for a wet iPhone. • The microphone is used only for the sound meter. Nothing is recorded or uploaded. • No account needed. Works offline. • Available in 34 languages. SUBSCRIPTION DripOut Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DripOut at every 5 days against Water Eject's monthly. DripOut also leads on device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
