Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CrowdNoise at 5.0 against Applause !'s 4.4. CrowdNoise also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Applause !'s advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Applause ! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CrowdNoise sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CrowdNoise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Applause ! has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Applause !'s written reviews are positive against 75% of CrowdNoise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Applause ! ships an update every 3 months, CrowdNoise every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
