Every score you own. Every marking you've ever made. On the iPad in your bag, the iPhone in your pocket and the Mac on your desk, all in sync. The sheet music reader that runs on everything you play from. Free to download. SCORES THAT NAME THEMSELVES "scan_0417.pdf" becomes "Clair de Lune, Debussy" by itself. Import a folder of a hundred files and watch the titles and composers fill in. NO MORE BAD PAGE TURNS Half-page turns show you the next line before you need it. Turn with a tap, a swipe or a foot pedal. Put a concert in a setlist and one piece flows into the next, with the screen awake until the applause. THE PRACTICE ROOM Mark a fingering. Highlight the entry you keep missing. White out the editor's bowing and write your own. Apple Pencil, any stylus or a fingertip; the line follows your pressure. Highlighters blend like real ones. The eraser takes back one stroke or one pixel. Every marking sits on a layer you can hide for the concert. PLAY ALONG, HANDS FREE Attach a recording to any score. Turn the pages once while it plays and enScore remembers every turn, half pages included. Loop a passage, slow it down, or start it the moment the score opens. TALKS TO YOUR KEYBOARD Turn pages from any MIDI pedal or controller. Give a score its sounds so your keyboard is on the right patch the moment it opens: program changes, bank select and Song Select. YOUR PRACTICE, ON RECORD enScore logs minutes a day, streaks, and which pieces you practised and when. Set a daily goal, jot a note from inside the score, and share a report as a PDF. SHARE A SETLIST Send a whole setlist as one file: the PDFs, the order, page ranges and your markings. Open it on any device running enScore, ready to play. BRING IN YOUR MUSIC Share a PDF from any app or import a whole folder. Search IMSLP without leaving enScore. Point your camera at a photocopy and it lands straightened, cropped and clean, or use a flatbed or feeder scanner over Wi-Fi. COMING FROM FORSCORE? One .4sc file and your scores, ink, stamps and layers land exactly as you left them. Nothing to redo. EVERY DEVICE YOU OWN enScore runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision, and it is the same app on all of them — and on every other device you play from. Mark up a part on the train and it's on the stand when you arrive. One library, in sync in seconds. NO ACCOUNT? NO PROBLEM Reading, ink, setlists and scanning work with no account and no network. An account is only for Sync and the online title and composer detection. Your scores live on your device; the cloud only ever holds a copy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: enScore at 5.0 against Piascore's 4.6. enScore also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Piascore's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Piascore sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and enScore sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
enScore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Piascore has 1.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Piascore ships an update weekly, enScore every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
