Pick Earworm if…
Earworm suits iOS users who can recall a melody but do not know a song’s title or lyrics. It may also suit Apple Watch users who want to identify a tune from the wrist, provided they are comfortable using a TestFlight beta and account.
Pick SoundHound if…
SoundHound suits Android and iOS users who want to identify nearby music, search by humming, or control playback by voice. Apple Watch users can also use its music identification and lyric display features.
