Blerp vs Soundboard Studio

Blerp provides soundboards and an audio effects library for sharing sound bites, noises, and audio memes in messaging, voice chats, and streams. Streamers can browse more than one million user-created sounds, upload audio, or create sounds from Twitch and YouTube clips. Creator tools include sound alerts, text-to-speech, video alerts, overlays, channel points, and subathon timers. Blerp lists integrations with Twitch, Discord, YouTube, TikTok, Kick, and other streaming platforms. It advertises more than 500 text-to-speech voices and moderation through an approval queue and word censorship. The browser extension supports Chrome, Edge, and Brave; Blerp HUD is listed for Mac, Windows 10 or 11, and Linux beta. The free TTS plan costs nothing and includes the voice library, basic voice filters, moderation queue, and word censorship. Blerp Unlimited offers a seven-day trial, with plans at $4.99 a month billed every two years, $5.99 a month billed annually, or $10.99 a month billed monthly. Blerp says only sounds marked reviewed by its team are guaranteed to be DMCA safe; some Twitch features require Affiliate status.

Soundboard Studio is an iOS cartwall app for playing audio such as pads, music beds, voiceovers, sound effects and soundbites. It is presented for podcasts, shows and gigs, as well as studio, broadcast and theatre use. Any number of tracks can play at once, with a separate volume control for each. Tracks can be trimmed using a waveform, looped, faded in or out, or set to stop other tracks when played. Automations can play, stop or change the volume of other tracks when a track starts, stops or reaches its end. Audio can be bulk imported from Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud Drive and other sources. The free version allows up to 24 tracks across four boards, but does not include background playback when the app is closed or track automations. Pro adds unlimited tracks and boards, background playback and automations. The weekly option is $6.99 a week and the yearly option is $59.99 a year; both begin with a 7-day free trial. A lifetime Pro purchase is $159.99 USD. The app is described as universal for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Its privacy policy says audio files and track settings are stored locally, and that personal information and analytics data are not collected.
