Audpad vs Go Button

Audpad is a web-based, cloud soundboard for creating, organizing, and playing audio clips from supported browsers. It is intended for streamers, podcasters, presenters, game communities, and support teams that need immediate access to sounds and effects. You can record audio in the browser or import it, then use the built-in trimmer to set start and end points, preview the result, and save it. Buttons support custom colors, emojis, or images, and can be reordered by dragging. A MyInstants.com URL can import a sound, title, and audio. Sounds remain in the cloud, while boards sync automatically across devices. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one soundboard and three sound buttons. Pro is listed as a one-time payment with lifetime access and unlimited boards and buttons, but no price is shown. Audpad says it runs on Cloudflare’s global edge network.

Go Button is an iOS app for creating and running sound cue playlists for live performances on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It can play several sounds at once, advance through a cue list with the GO button, or trigger ad-lib effects from Hit buttons. Cues may auto-stop, fade, loop, or duck, with separate volume, pan, speed, and pitch controls. Playback accepts iOS-compatible remotes, Bluetooth keyboards and accessories, MIDI input, OSC commands, and hotkeys. Shows can move through AirDrop or the iOS Files app, arrive from iCloud Drive or Dropbox, and be imported into QLab. Supported audio includes WAV, AIFF, AIFC, M4A, AAC, MP3, MOV, CAF, 3GP, MPEG4 audio, and FLAC; copy-protected files are excluded. It requires iOS 15 or later. The free version costs nothing for one saved playlist; the $99.99, paid once Pro License allows unlimited playlists.
