# IMSLP vs GigTab

The clearest difference is rating: GigTab at 5.0 against IMSLP's 4.6. IMSLP's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (515 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IMSLP sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and GigTab sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GigTab holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IMSLP has 515 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

IMSLP ships an update every 10 days, GigTab every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
