# Radiate vs Signtone

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.

Both are free to download. Radiate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Signtone asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Radiate against 5.0 for Signtone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radiate has 31K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Radiate ships an update every 10 days, Signtone every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
