Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PianoToolbox at Free against Mini Piano Pro's $1.99. PianoToolbox also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (13 vs 16.6). Mini Piano Pro's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (35 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

PianoToolbox is free to download; Mini Piano Pro costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mini Piano Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Piano Pro has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PianoToolbox's written reviews are positive against 67% of Mini Piano Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PianoToolbox ships an update every 7 months, Mini Piano Pro every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
