# Anytune vs Bagpipe Tutorial

The clearest difference is rating: Anytune at 4.8 against Bagpipe Tutorial's 4.3. Anytune also leads on ratings volume (8.6K vs 8) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Bagpipe Tutorial's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (98% vs 82%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anytune sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bagpipe Tutorial sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Anytune holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anytune has 8.6K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Anytune's written reviews are positive against 98% of Bagpipe Tutorial's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Anytune ships an update every 5 weeks, Bagpipe Tutorial every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
