Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Solfa at Free against Solfa Pro's $3.99. Solfa also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (789 vs 65). Solfa Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
