Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Strofa at Free against GuitarWrist's $0.99. Strofa also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). GuitarWrist's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
