# Live Chords vs Ear training

The clearest difference is rating: Ear training at 4.5 against Live Chords's 2.8. Ear training also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (248 vs 6). Live Chords's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Live Chords sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Ear training asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ear training holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ear training has 248 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 33% and 33% positive.
