Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pentair Pool holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pentair Pool has 24K ratings behind it against 139, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of AudioFetch's written reviews are positive against 30% of Pentair Pool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AudioFetch ships an update every 2 months, Pentair Pool monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
