# 钢琴教练 vs Teach Note

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Teach Note at 90% against 钢琴教练's 46%. Teach Note also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (196 vs 5). 钢琴教练's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 钢琴教练 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Teach Note sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Teach Note holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teach Note has 196 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of 钢琴教练's written reviews are positive against 90% of Teach Note's.

钢琴教练 ships an update every 3 months, Teach Note every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
