Edsby Capture is a streamlined way to upload pictures and short videos into Edsby, the innovative all-in-one digital learning and data platform for K-12 schools and regions. If you're a teacher, this app is optional; you can already capture learning evidence in the standard Edsby app. Use Edsby Capture as a fast way to get large numbers of pictures and videos into the Edsby evidence system from a busy classroom. Students can use Capture themselves, even from shared devices, if you, the teacher, allow them to. If you’re a student or parent, download this app only if your teacher has asked you to. You’ll need a special QR code from your teacher before it will do anything.
Root Notes

Can you read sheet music at a glance? Root Notes turns sight reading into a short daily game: a note appears on the staff, you find it on the piano keyboard, and the app keeps track of what you actually know. Rather than drilling the whole staff at once, each level grows one note at a time - starting with two notes and ending on all twelve, accidentals included. - Separate treble and bass clef courses, 20 levels each - Six short stages per level, a couple of minutes at a time - Free play mode with the full keyboard - Notes you miss come back more often, notes you know fade out - Every note is played back, so your ear learns along with your eyes - No ads, no accounts, nothing to sign up for Made for beginners working through their first pieces, and for anyone who plays by ear and wants the notation to finally click.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Edsby Capture at none against Root Notes's 1. Root Notes's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
