Piper’s Spellbook is a complete modal scale workbook for iPad and a practical audio companion for iPhone. Built from the Piper’s Spellbook system, the app gives musicians a structured way to study parent scales, modes, technical exercises, and scale demonstrations across a wide range of modal families. On iPad (with the Full Sheet Music in-app purchase), the app includes the full digital workbook experience, with beautifully engraved practice pages, section navigation, playback buttons, reference material, and practice tools built directly into the reading experience. On iPhone, the app works as a free audio companion to the physical workbook, making it easy to play scales and exercises to hear how they sound while practicing away from the full page layout. Inside the app you can: • Study pentatonic, diatonic, harmonic, melodic, neapolitan, Gypsy Major and minor, whole-tone, augmented hexatonic, diminished octatonic, and chromatic scale families. • Explore parent-scale overview pages and modal rotation material. • View the complete workbook on iPad as a digital practice and reference edition (In app purchase of Full Sheet Music required) • Use iPhone as a quick listening companion for the physical book, with direct access to scale demonstrations and exercise playback. • Hear notation-based playback that follows the written rhythmic values of the exercises. • Practice with a built-in metronome at your selected tempo. • Move through modes and workbook pages quickly during practice sessions. • Use beginner one-octave pages on iPad for a simplified practice format. • Use pitch-class labels on iPad when note-name support is helpful. Piper’s Spellbook is designed for practical daily use by instrumental musicians, students, teachers, and anyone wanting a clear path through scales and modes. Whether you want the full workbook on iPad or a simple audio reference on iPhone, Piper’s Spellbook is designed to help you hear, navigate, and practice the material efficiently.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flexischools at none against Piper's Spellbook's 1. Flexischools also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Piper's Spellbook's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
