HOW IT WORKS Event organizers play a short audio signal — a Signtone — through their PA system or speakers. When you tap the Listen button in the app, Signtone identifies the audio signal (similar to how music-recognition apps identify songs) and registers you for the event with one tap. Works with conference PA systems, laptop speakers, Bluetooth speakers, and even broadcast radio.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Signtone at none against Radiate's 10. Signtone also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). Radiate's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 1) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
