# Tabla vs Tabla

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Tabla at 1.2K against Tabla's 2. Tabla's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tabla sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Tabla sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Tabla against 4.5 for Tabla. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabla has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tabla ships an update every 3 weeks, Tabla every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
