Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cursor at Free against Piano Dash's $0.99. Cursor also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and device support (4 vs 2). Piano Dash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 13 months). On ratings volume, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Cursor is free to download; Piano Dash costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cursor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Cursor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Piano Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cursor ships an update every 13 months, Piano Dash every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
