Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ChordProg Ear Trainer at 75% against Harmonic Analysis's 43%. ChordProg Ear Trainer also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). Harmonic Analysis's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Harmonic Analysis holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 16 respectively.

Harmonic Analysis ships an update every 2 days, ChordProg Ear Trainer every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
