# WhichPitch vs Sonofield Ear Trainer

The clearest difference is rating: Sonofield Ear Trainer at 4.9 against WhichPitch's 3.1. Sonofield Ear Trainer also leads on ratings volume (376 vs 7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). WhichPitch's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WhichPitch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sonofield Ear Trainer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sonofield Ear Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonofield Ear Trainer has 376 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WhichPitch's written reviews are positive against 89% of Sonofield Ear Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WhichPitch ships an update every 3 weeks, Sonofield Ear Trainer every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
