SightSing vs The Ear Gym

SightSing provides sight-singing practice with real-time microphone feedback and an 18-level curriculum. As you sing, each note is marked hit, miss, or off by a half step. Separate sight-singing, rhythm, and interval trainers track progress independently, with adaptive difficulty available. Each level introduces one concept and uses rolling-window mastery, so a missed day does not reset progress. The Free plan costs nothing, covers Levels 1–3, and requires no credit card. Monthly costs $4.99 a month; Annual costs $49 a year. Both paid plans include all 18 sight-singing levels, the rhythm and interval trainers, real-time feedback, practice streak and history, and cancellation anytime. Visitors can try a sample melody without signing up. Microphone audio is processed on the device and not recorded or transmitted; only the score is saved. Pitch accuracy depends on the device, microphone, ambient noise, and singing volume. SightSing is for ages 13 and up and is not a classroom product.

The Ear Gym is an Android and iOS ear-training app covering intervals, chords, scales, rhythm, harmony, solfege, and perfect pitch. Exercises let users identify, compare, construct, read, sing, or play intervals using piano and guitar sounds. Guided Mode moves from beginner listening through intervals, chords, scales, rhythm, and harmony. Custom drills can specify intervals, chords, scales, keys, clefs, octaves, instruments, and tempo. Additional activities include sight reading, melodic dictation, harmonic analysis, chord progressions, and cadences. Session statistics, streaks, and badges track practice, and the app listing says it works offline. Free Start costs nothing and provides drills at the user's own pace. One-time purchases cost $2.99 as a one-time purchase for Guided Mode, $2.99, paid once for Free Mode, or $4.79, paid once for the Complete package. The App Store description says the full app uses a one-time purchase with no subscription or ads.
