Both are free to download. Tanpura Studio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Saath Studio Tabla sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tanpura Studio holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tanpura Studio has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Tanpura Studio's written reviews are positive against 38% of Saath Studio Tabla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tanpura Studio ships an update every 3 weeks, Saath Studio Tabla every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
