Soundboard Studio review
A capable iOS soundboard with strong playback controls and costly Pro tiers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Soundboard Studio is an iOS soundboard and cartwall app for podcasts, live shows, theatre, events, churches, workshops, and other productions. It lets users organize configurable boards containing music, voiceovers, sound effects, pads, and soundbites. The free version is available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, while the Pro options add unlimited tracks, unlimited boards, background playback, and track automations.
Its strongest fit is playback control. Users can play multiple tracks simultaneously, trim audio with waveform controls, fade tracks in and out, loop tracks continuously, and set individual volume levels. Multiple soundboards support different sets of audio, and bulk importing works through the Files app, Dropbox, Google Drive, and iCloud Drive. Bluetooth keyboards and footswitches can trigger pads, which suits live operation where quick access matters. Pro automations can run based on playback state, extending the app beyond simple manual triggering.
Pricing is structured around a free tier and three Pro purchase options. Soundboard Studio Free is free forever and provides the universal iOS app. Pro Weekly costs $6.99 per week, Pro Yearly costs $59.99 per year with annual billing, and Pro Lifetime costs $159.99 as a one-time purchase. The published plans show the same Pro highlights across these paid options: unlimited tracks, unlimited boards, background playback when the app is closed, and track automations. Soundboard Studio is a good choice for iOS-based performances that need organized, automated playback. Buyers who need a desktop or browser app, streaming integrations, or a lower recurring cost should look elsewhere.
