They're pretty much the same thing, however this one is the paid version of SoundHound - if you have Shazam Encore (the paid version) then you don't really need to get this.. But that being said, SoundHound paid is now free for a while.. So just get it anyway mate :)
I've always found SoundHound does a better job at recognising things.
Also, if you're using the SoundHound player you can enable scrolling lyrics (unsure if you can do this w/ Shazam).
I think their is a similar feature but is very limited to mainstream songs. Thanks guys! :)
You can actually hum some songs. Doesn't always work, but still useful at times.
Yes! My mistake - updating title.
Not for Android by the looks of it :-(
Yep. Unfortunately that's the free version — but nevertheless, it's the same thing, but ad-supported.
Hi botftw. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I've had the infinity version of this app on my iDevices and I can't ever recall paying for it. Hasn't it always been free?
That's odd, Infinity has never been free since the version in 2011.. The free version has always been free (lol) but not Soundhound Infinity.
I could swear black and blue it's always been free. Anyway, I love the app and use it heaps. Happy 2014!
Possibly you got the one from the UK store, that was a deal posted here a while ago when it went free.
IIRC, Soundhound started as a free app (called Midomi) in 2008, became a paid app in 2009, and then they released a free app again in 2010.
Anyone who bought it way back when for free ended up with Infinity, not the free version.
edit: Yep, I went into my iTunes purchase history, which shows the new name:

Nice detective work Steve. Must have got mine on initial release as a free app. Thanks.
I was wondering the same. This is what I found on the SoundHound website:
SoundHound (free): unlimited IDs
SoundHound ∞: unlimited IDs,
ad-free, extra features
from the FAQ on their website
What benefit is there to buying SoundHound ∞, when there are unlimited IDs in the free version?
Paid users tell us that they purchased SoundHound ∞ for the ad-free experience, especially on the unlimited lyrics pages. But we want to go further than that, so we are making SoundHound ∞ the lead app for SoundHound's new features. If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, it already includes exclusive links to artists' Wikipedia pages, as well as Song Recommendations; if you have an Android phone, you'll gain access to a home screen widget, which allows you to identify music without launching the application.
the iOS extras don't sound that special. On the other hand SoundHound allows humming/whistling songs, whilst Shazam doesn't, i think
Cheers OP, downloading it now :)
Is this supposed to be ad-free? Why is there a huge ad for Apple's "12 Days of Gifts" in the app's home screen, which takes up 2/3 of the interface? (Pretty sure I downloaded the Infinity version, since there's an infinity symbol on the icon…) Is there something I need to do to get rid of the ads? :)
Thanks OP! I use this app infrequently, but still quite often - but not enough to justify the hefty price tag. This is a great App and fantastic for free.
I tend to find Soundhound takes less time to identify songs than Shazam. I'm not sure if it is actually true though.
Aye, not free since it was called Infinity.
I think I ended up with it from Midomi days.

OMG thanks OP. Not sure why this didn't trigger on my Appshopper. Been waiting for this to go free since forever.
It's a great app!!
my wife loves it so much - great gift on the new year's day :)
TTTTHHHHAAAANNNNKKKKSSSS!!!!
someone's going to be using this app to a certain Marvin Gaye song by the looks of it…
I can't find sign-in with G+ account function in infinity version.
Just wanted you to hit 200 :), good one OP.
Hahaha, thanks a lot - the number being stuck on 199 really was driving me nuts!
Same function as Shazam or are there extra features that make it better?
