Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Video Processor at none against Sibelius KeyPad's 4. Video Processor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Sibelius KeyPad's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
