Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Note Trainer at ad-supported against Music Rhythm Trainer's subscription. Note Trainer also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 72%). Music Rhythm Trainer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Music Rhythm Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Music Rhythm Trainer has 5.1K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Music Rhythm Trainer's written reviews are positive against 80% of Note Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Music Rhythm Trainer ships an update every 2 weeks, Note Trainer every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
