Instead of Perfect Ear
Perfect Ear alternatives
Perfect Ear brings together ear training, rhythm, solfège, music theory, note reading, and singing practice. Its exercises cover intervals, chords, inversions, progressions, scales, melodic dictation, absolute pitch, and sight reading. You can create custom exercises, use piano or guitar practice sounds, and connect a MIDI keyboard to the sight-reading trainer. Guided courses run from beginner to advanced, with a daily practice dashboard. The app works on Android, iOS, and macOS, offers a free plan, and sells one-time exercise packs and other purchases.

An alternative may suit you if you want browser or Windows access, a narrower interval or key-based method, different progress tools, or entirely free desktop software. Complete Ear Trainer adds chapter-based drills and teacher programs; Coco emphasizes short daily games; Auris adds browser practice and statistics; and Minuet or Nootka focus on desktop music education with feedback. Consider which skills matter most, whether you need custom or guided practice, how you want progress measured, which devices you use, and whether recurring or one-time costs fit your budget.
