Modacity vs Practice Space

Modacity is an app for organizing and tracking musicians’ practice. It combines a recorder, metronome, tone generator, timer, and note-taking tools, while tracking practice time and progress and supporting reminders. Users can compare recordings and keep to-do lists or journal notes that appear on the practice screen. The app guides deliberate practice around a musician’s highest-priority pieces. It is intended for students, professionals, teachers, and amateur musicians; the maker says it can be used with any instrument or voice type and any genre. Supported platforms are iOS, Android, and macOS, with listed devices including iPhones, iPads, iPod touch, Apple Silicon Macs, Apple Vision, and Android phones, tablets, and laptops. Practice data and recordings sync to Modacity’s servers when the app has an internet connection. Manual export is available by request. The free plan includes 10 practice items, two lists, and one folder, with limits on notes, recordings, practice cycles, reminders, and other tools. Premium Individual costs $11.99 a month. Studio starts from $199 a year for up to 30 students.

Practice Space is a music lesson platform for teachers creating digital assignments and supporting students' practice. Teachers can save teaching points in a reusable library and attach videos, links, PDFs, and other files to assignments. Practice logs track time, completed assignments, and progress toward goals. Students can send practice videos for teachers to comment on or like between classes; group assignments and chat provide ways to share progress. Students can earn streaks, badges, gems, and other achievements, and teachers can customize awards. Teachers can use the web app and teacher app, while students can access lessons on the web or through iOS and Android apps. Teacher accounts include unlimited student accounts, and students are not charged. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card; the pricing note lists paid plans from $13.33/mo (annual). Uploaded files are limited to 1 GB, and videos recorded directly into assignments are limited to five minutes. The privacy policy says the service is directed to children under 13 and describes parental rights to review or request deletion of a child's information.
