VocalTeam connects the members of your chorus or vocal team and is the tool for communication, song archive and rehersal planning. - Keep track of your members, chat within the team or within each section. - Store and keep track of the team sheet music and learning tracks. Play the audio in the built in audio player at the same time as you look at the sheet music, all within the app that on top of it all will cache the files you choose locally on the device so you have immediate access to them. - Plan your event (rehersals, meetings and performances) where the invited team members can reply if they are joining or not. Simple overview for e.g. the director with summary of each section. Activities for an event points to the songs of the archive and makes the sheet music and learning tracks available from the event view.

The folk tunes you carry with you and the ones you want to learn. Jam-da is an app for playing folk music together. Your repertoire Keep your tunes in one place and sort them into playlists. Mark whether you can play a tune, are practising it or want to learn it. Notation and playback Over 30,000 Swedish, Nordic and Irish tunes come with the app, all with notation. Press play and the tune plays from the notation. Each tune also links to Spotify and YouTube. Record Tap the microphone when someone starts playing. Type the name afterwards and the recording is filed under that tune, with the notation if the tune is in the app. Practise Pick a part and the app plays it one phrase at a time. You play it back and the app listens for the right notes: if one is off, it shows where and plays that bit again, and when the phrase sits you go on to the next. It works from the notation or from a recording. You can also pick a few bars, let them loop and slow the tempo down. Practising with the app listening is free for your first week, then part of Pro. What can we play together? Mark the tunes you know. When you start a jam, the app compares your repertoires and shows the tunes you have in common. Add friends and you can see it before you meet. What's that tune? Play, hum or whistle part of the melody and the app suggests which tune it might be. Tune up The tuner listens while you play a string and shows how far off it is. Fiddle in standard tuning or cross-tunings such as ADAE, hardingfele, nyckelharpa and viola. Tap a string to hear its note. Tunes on the map See where the tunes come from and find more from the same region. Sharing Send a recording as a link and whoever gets it can listen straight away. Share a playlist with a link or a QR code and anyone in the group can add tunes. Jam-da Pro Sign in and your tunes and recordings are backed up. With Pro they also sync between your phone and tablet, and you can record in higher quality. You hear the tunes on accordion, flute, cello and 15 other instruments besides the fiddle, and get a fingerboard that shows where your fingers go, a tempo that rises as you get the tune, your own map and statistics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VocalTeam at none against Jam's 1. VocalTeam also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Jam's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
