# MicSwap vs Reverse Audio

The clearest difference is ads: MicSwap at none against Reverse Audio's shown. Reverse Audio's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 60%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MicSwap sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Reverse Audio sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reverse Audio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reverse Audio has 38K ratings behind it against 6.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of MicSwap's written reviews are positive against 87% of Reverse Audio's.
