Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Berliner Philharmoniker at 3K against Tambu's 2. Tambu's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.4). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Berliner Philharmoniker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Tambu sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Berliner Philharmoniker against 5.0 for Tambu. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Berliner Philharmoniker has 3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Berliner Philharmoniker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tambu's.
Berliner Philharmoniker ships an update weekly, Tambu every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
