# SoundStream vs Grem

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grem at none against SoundStream's 22. Grem also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). SoundStream's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 13%) and ratings volume (53 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SoundStream sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Grem asks for nothing beyond the download.

Grem holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SoundStream has 53 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of SoundStream's written reviews are positive against 13% of Grem's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SoundStream ships an update every 4 weeks, Grem weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
