# SeeMusic vs Piano2Notes

The clearest difference is update cadence: SeeMusic at every 3 days against Piano2Notes's every 6 weeks. SeeMusic also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 37%). Piano2Notes's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SeeMusic sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Piano2Notes sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Piano2Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 226 and 294 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of SeeMusic's written reviews are positive against 37% of Piano2Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SeeMusic ships an update every 3 days, Piano2Notes every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
