Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iTabla Sangat at 3.0 against Saath Studio Tabla's 2.0. Saath Studio Tabla's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. iTabla Sangat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Saath Studio Tabla sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
iTabla Sangat holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of iTabla Sangat's written reviews are positive against 38% of Saath Studio Tabla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iTabla Sangat ships an update every 3 weeks, Saath Studio Tabla every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
