Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Equalizer Pro + at 4.2 against HD Music Parametric Equalizer's 2.5. Equalizer Pro + also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (557 vs 2). HD Music Parametric Equalizer's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 47%) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Equalizer Pro + holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Equalizer Pro + has 557 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of HD Music Parametric Equalizer's written reviews are positive against 47% of Equalizer Pro +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HD Music Parametric Equalizer ships an update every 4 months, Equalizer Pro + fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
