Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyTabla at 5.0 against Newzik's 4.6. Newzik's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyTabla holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Newzik has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Newzik's written reviews are positive against 61% of MyTabla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Newzik ships an update every 3 weeks, MyTabla fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
