# Open Studio Jazz vs Guitar Cycles App

The clearest difference is rating: Guitar Cycles App at 5.0 against Open Studio Jazz's 4.6. Open Studio Jazz's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Open Studio Jazz sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month and Guitar Cycles App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Guitar Cycles App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Open Studio Jazz has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Open Studio Jazz ships an update every 5 days, Guitar Cycles App fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
