# CloudGear vs PianoFold

The clearest difference is update cadence: PianoFold at every 3 days against CloudGear's every 3 weeks. PianoFold also leads on chart position (#24 vs unranked). CloudGear's advantage is ratings volume (603 vs 47) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 27.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudGear sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PianoFold sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for CloudGear against 4.7 for PianoFold. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudGear has 603 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of CloudGear's written reviews are positive against 86% of PianoFold's.

CloudGear ships an update every 3 weeks, PianoFold every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
