Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MIDITrail at none against FingerPiano Plus's 10. MIDITrail also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 45%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). FingerPiano Plus's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and rating (3.4 vs 3.2). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
