Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Piano Jukebox at 3.6 against MIDITrail's 3.2. Piano Jukebox also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 12.0). MIDITrail's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 38%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Piano Jukebox holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIDITrail has 82 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of MIDITrail's written reviews are positive against 38% of Piano Jukebox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MIDITrail ships an update every 4 months, Piano Jukebox every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
