# WavePad音声編集ソフト vs Sound Editor

The clearest difference is rating: WavePad音声編集ソフト at 5.0 against Sound Editor's 3.1. WavePad音声編集ソフト also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (44% vs 10%). Sound Editor's advantage is ratings volume (771 vs 5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WavePad音声編集ソフト sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Sound Editor sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WavePad音声編集ソフト holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sound Editor has 771 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
