Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Singalong Solfege at 4.5 against Ear Training's 4.0. Singalong Solfege also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 2). Ear Training's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 76%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Singalong Solfege holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Singalong Solfege has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Singalong Solfege's written reviews are positive against 95% of Ear Training's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Singalong Solfege ships an update monthly, Ear Training every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
