# Pitch Trainer vs Ear Training

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pitch Trainer at 496 against Ear Training's 2. Pitch Trainer also leads on chart position (#84 vs unranked). Ear Training's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pitch Trainer sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Ear Training sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ear Training holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pitch Trainer has 496 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
