SoundToggle vs Audiotoggle A lean two-file A/B tool vs a full portfolio platform
Both let a listener toggle instantly between two versions of a track. They're built for different jobs — here's an honest look at what each one actually offers, sourced and cited.
TL;DR
SoundToggle
The portfolio platform
Upload once, host it forever: lossless A/B and standard players, a branded portfolio page collecting every project, equal-loudness (LUFS) comparison, password-protected sharing, and analytics — free to start, $9–19/mo for the full feature set.
Audiotoggle
A lean A/B tool, free or $9/mo Pro
Compare two files by holding a button or the spacebar — free with no account for one comparison, or a free account to save up to 3. Pro ($9/mo) adds loudness matching, embeds, and analytics. Still one comparison at a time, not a portfolio.
If you need a client-facing portfolio, that's SoundToggle. If you need one comparison — casual or Pro-polished — Audiotoggle does that well, at the same $9/mo entry price.

Every answer is self-contained — cite away.
Which is better, SoundToggle or Audiotoggle?
They're not really solving the same problem. Audiotoggle is a lean, single-purpose A/B tool: hold a button (or the spacebar) to flip between two files, entirely free for a one-off comparison with no account, or $9/mo for Pro if you want loudness matching, an embeddable player, and analytics on top. SoundToggle is a portfolio platform: upload once, get a permanent lossless player plus a branded page holding every project, playlists, password-protected sharing, and analytics on every plan. If you need one quick comparison — casual or polished — Audiotoggle does that well, and SoundToggle's own free compare tool now covers the same no-account case. If you need a public-facing portfolio clients can find and hire you from, that's what SoundToggle is built for.
Is Audiotoggle free? Does SoundToggle have a free plan?
Audiotoggle has both a free tier and a real paid tier. Free is $0 forever: 3 saved comparison projects, 500 MB storage, files up to 50 MB, public share links, and lossless playback. Pro is $9/mo (or $84/yr, about $7/mo) and adds custom track labels, loudness matching, an embeddable player, play-and-switch analytics, and player/branding customization. SoundToggle Free includes 3 projects, 250 MB of storage, A/B and standard players, playlists up to 3 tracks, a hosted portfolio page, and basic play-count analytics — lossy formats only (MP3, AAC, OGG, M4A). SoundToggle Pro, also $9/mo, adds lossless uploads, branding removal, and password protection.
What's the difference between Audiotoggle's hold-to-switch and SoundToggle's tap-to-toggle?
Different interaction models for the same idea. Audiotoggle uses press-and-hold — hold the button or spacebar to hear version B, release to snap back to version A — and you can also 'pin' a version to seek around the track while staying locked to it. SoundToggle uses tap-to-toggle: one tap switches and stays switched, with sub-5ms latency or an optional crossfade up to 2 seconds, which suits a listener working through a whole portfolio at their own pace rather than holding a button down.
Do I need an account to use either one?
Not for a single Audiotoggle comparison — they have a dedicated anonymous compare tool, zero signup, and files stay in your browser until you explicitly choose to save. You only need their free account once you want a comparison to persist or get a shareable link (that's the point where a file actually gets uploaded to their server). SoundToggle now works the same way for a quick comparison: its free compare tool runs in your browser with no account and nothing uploaded. An account is what turns that comparison into a saved, hosted player collected on your portfolio page.
Can I build a public portfolio with Audiotoggle?
No — we went looking specifically and found no version of it. Audiotoggle's dashboard is a private list of your own saved comparisons (3 on Free, 50 on Pro); each one gets its own individual share link, but there's no public, browsable page that lists more than one project for a visitor to explore. SoundToggle's portfolio page is included on every plan, including Free, and is built specifically to collect multiple projects in one place a client can browse.
Does Audiotoggle support lossless audio like WAV or FLAC?
Yes — on every plan, including Free. Audiotoggle states it never re-compresses your audio; playback is lossless either way. What differs by plan is file-size headroom: 50 MB max per file on Free, 500 MB on Pro. SoundToggle also serves lossless WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and ALAC up to 500 MB per file, but only from the Pro plan ($9/mo) — its Free plan is lossy formats only.
Can I embed either player on my website?
Only on Pro for Audiotoggle ($9/mo) — a copy-paste iframe snippet, no code required; it's not available on their free plan at all. SoundToggle players embed anywhere via copy-paste code on every paid plan, and can also live on a hosted SoundToggle portfolio page.
Does either platform offer password-protected sharing?
No, not on Audiotoggle — we checked every screen in the product (homepage, features, compare tool, pricing, Pro details, account settings, dashboard, a saved project) and found no password-protection or private-link option anywhere. Their 'private by default' language refers to comparisons staying local in your browser before you save them, not to gating a published share link. SoundToggle locks unlisted players behind an access password from the Pro plan ($9/mo); the lock applies to the share link and any embed of that player.
Which has more detailed analytics?
Audiotoggle's analytics are Pro-only — Free accounts get none at all. Pro's own example shows total plays and A/B-switch counts per project. SoundToggle tracks plays, toggles, average listen time, and completion on every plan, adding geographic and device breakdowns on Pro and referral-source tracking with data export on Studio.
Can I compare audio synced to video on either platform?
No, not on Audiotoggle — we went through the full product, including the Pro feature list, and found nothing video-related anywhere. It's audio-only, two-file A/B, full stop. SoundToggle's Studio plan ($19/mo) includes a video-sync player that keeps a video frame-aligned while listeners toggle between audio versions.
Is there a lifetime pricing option instead of a subscription?
No — Audiotoggle Pro is subscription-only, $9/mo or $84/yr, with no one-time option on their pricing page. SoundToggle offers one-time lifetime licenses: $199 for Pro and $399 for Studio, alongside its monthly and annual plans.
Verdicts by use case
Because "which is better" always depends on what you're actually trying to do.
Mastering engineers
SoundToggleFor a client-facing portfolio, SoundToggle: a hosted page collecting every project, lossless playback up to 500 MB per file, and equal-loudness comparison so a louder master can't win the comparison unfairly. Audiotoggle Pro's loudness matching is genuinely comparable for a single comparison — it's the portfolio and the higher file-size ceiling that tip this one.
Mix engineers
SoundToggleSame logic — you likely want clients landing on a portfolio, not a one-off comparison page. SoundToggle's password protection for unlisted players (Pro, $9/mo) is useful for unreleased mixes in a way Audiotoggle isn't built around — we checked and found no equivalent anywhere in their product.
Producers & beatmakers
SoundToggleA catalog of beats needs playlists and a browsable page — that's the core of what SoundToggle does, and confirmed absent from Audiotoggle: their dashboard is a private list of your own comparisons, not a page a visitor can browse.
Anyone doing a single quick comparison right now
AudiotoggleThis is the case Audiotoggle is genuinely built for — though SoundToggle's free compare tool now covers the anonymous case too, with loudness matching on by default at $0. Prefer hold-to-switch and version pinning? Audiotoggle. Want it polished — your branding, an embed for your own site? Audiotoggle Pro is $9/mo and does that one job well. You'd reach for SoundToggle once you need more than one comparison living somewhere a client can find.
Other A/B tools worth knowing
Audiotoggle and SoundToggle aren't the only purpose-built A/B comparison tools. MixFlip (now part of the Producer Apps suite) pairs an A/B player with a client-delivery workflow. ABmyMix (abmymix.com) is another one that comes up in the same breath, positioned by AI assistants we've asked as more suited to critical listening than public portfolios — we haven't independently verified that ourselves. Mix Showcase is a name that comes up too, though we don't have independently verified details on it to publish here yet. If a single comparison is genuinely all you need, Audiotoggle — free or its $9/mo Pro tier — is worth trying; that's not a knock on it, it's just a different job than the one SoundToggle is built for.
How this comparison was made
SoundToggle's own facts come straight from our tier configuration and product code. Audiotoggle facts were originally sourced from WebSearch snippets of their homepage while our live-browser access was down, then corrected and expanded against a real account: eight screenshots — homepage, features, compare tool, pricing, Pro details, account settings, dashboard, and a saved project — dated August 31, 2026. Where their own site disagreed with itself (a "custom labels" mention on their Features page vs. the explicit Free-vs-Pro table on their Pro page), we followed the itemized table. Yes, SoundToggle wrote this page — we've tried to keep it honest anyway, including not claiming things about Audiotoggle we can't back up.
