Free Poweramp alternative for Android
Short answer: if you want most of what Poweramp offers without paying, Audify is the closest free option — a 10-band EQ with bass boost and effects, plus offline video, radio, lyrics and ringtones. Poweramp keeps the edge on deep audio tuning; Audify wins on price and breadth.
Why look for a Poweramp alternative
Poweramp is excellent, but it requires a paid license after its trial, plays audio only, and is Android-only. If you’d rather not pay, or you want video and radio in the same app, a free alternative makes sense.
What you get with Audify (free)
Audify is ad-supported; an optional Premium tier removes ads.
What Poweramp does better (honest)
Credit where due: Poweramp’s parametric equalizer and per-output tuning go deeper than Audify’s 10-band graphic EQ, and it has a long audiophile pedigree. If squeezing the last bit of DSP control out of your headphones matters most and you’ll pay for it, Poweramp is the better pick.

Yes, for most people. Audify is free with a 10-band equalizer, bass boost and effects, plus offline video, radio, lyrics and a ringtone cutter that Poweramp doesn’t include. Poweramp still has the deeper audio engine.
Does Audify have a parametric equalizer like Poweramp?
No. Audify has a 10-band graphic equalizer with bass boost, virtualizer and reverb. Poweramp’s parametric EQ offers finer, per-frequency control — its main advantage.
Is Poweramp free?
Poweramp requires a paid license after a trial period. Audify is free (ad-supported), and an optional Premium tier removes ads.
