Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GuZheng at none against Mini Piano ®'s 6. GuZheng also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Mini Piano ®'s advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
