The clearest difference is ratings volume: WRD at 2.8K against Tabla's 61. WRD also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 33%). Tabla's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WRD sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Tabla sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for WRD against 4.6 for Tabla. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WRD has 2.8K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of WRD's written reviews are positive against 33% of Tabla's.
