# SongSheet Pro vs Tambu

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tambu at 100% against SongSheet Pro's 73%. Tambu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). SongSheet Pro's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SongSheet Pro sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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.

Tambu holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SongSheet Pro has 2.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of SongSheet Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tambu's.

SongSheet Pro ships an update every 2 weeks, Tambu every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
