# Tunr vs Audio Visualize

The clearest difference is rating: Tunr at 4.2 against Audio Visualize's 3.6. Tunr also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (190 vs 9). Audio Visualize's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tunr sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Audio Visualize sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tunr holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tunr has 190 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Tunr's written reviews are positive against 62% of Audio Visualize's.

Tunr ships an update every 3 weeks, Audio Visualize every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
