As for our final thoughts, we believe that the chart is pretty self explanatory. When it comes to free software Free Sound and Streamosaur are almost the same. Free Sound’s UI is somewhat more easier to navigate than Streamosaur’s is. On the other hand, software Free Sound supports more formats which might be the turning point for some users. Streamosaur is a dying breed in this race.

provides the most features compared to all of the apps on our test. The price tag is pretty reasonable and it provides more than you initially bargained for. Apowersoft costs too much (twice as more than Wondershare) but it doesn't support all of the features. What's more, it can record in FLAC format.
