# Visual Note vs Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Visual Note at 73% against Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning's 21%. Visual Note also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 5) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Visual Note sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.90 per month and Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning has 1.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Visual Note's written reviews are positive against 21% of Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Visual Note ships an update every 10 days, Rocksmith+ Fast Music Learning monthly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
