# Square vs AudioPoint

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AudioPoint at 100% against Square's 25%. AudioPoint also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). Square's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 22 months). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Square holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square has 3.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Square's written reviews are positive against 100% of AudioPoint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Square ships an update weekly, AudioPoint every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
