Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyTabla at 5.0 against Recognify's 3.6. MyTabla also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). Recognify's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyTabla sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Recognify sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MyTabla holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recognify has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
MyTabla ships an update every 3 weeks, Recognify every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
