# Guitar Lessons Pro vs Notey

The clearest difference is rating: Notey at 4.4 against Guitar Lessons Pro's 3.8. Notey also leads on ratings volume (238 vs 4). Guitar Lessons Pro's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guitar Lessons Pro sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Notey sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Notey holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notey has 238 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Guitar Lessons Pro's written reviews are positive against 84% of Notey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
