Pick Audacity if…
Audacity suits people who want free desktop software for multitrack audio editing, noise reduction, or spectrogram analysis. It is for desktop use rather than iOS or Android editing.

Pro Tools suits music creators who need recording, MIDI, editing, and mixing tools in one workstation. Studio and Ultimate may also suit audio post users who need video tracks and timecode.
