Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Piano at 4.4 against MyTabla's 3.0. Simple Piano also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). MyTabla's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
