Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Violin Tuner (All modes) at none against Violin Tuner Basic's shown. Violin Tuner (All modes) also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 21%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). Violin Tuner Basic's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (461 vs 30). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Violin Tuner (All modes) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Violin Tuner Basic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Violin Tuner Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Violin Tuner Basic has 461 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Violin Tuner (All modes)'s written reviews are positive against 21% of Violin Tuner Basic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Violin Tuner (All modes) ships an update every 19 months, Violin Tuner Basic every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
