SightReader vs Note Rush: note names or real reading? (2026)

SightReader vs Music Tutor: naming notes vs reading music (2026)
Music Tutor is a free, timed note-naming drill; SightReader has you read real pieces with live MIDI feedback. What each is actually for, whether free means free, and which you need next.
SightReader vs MasterPiano: which is better value? (2026)
SightReader and MasterPiano do the same core thing — listen to your MIDI keyboard and mark real pieces graded ABRSM 1–8. So the real question is value: what each gives you free, and what you pay. An honest comparison.
