AppHunt has no promo code for Hello Piano, but we have one for the alternative below.

Best free alternative to Hello Piano: Klavi

Hello Piano is free to download, but its tutor plans are paid and the listing doesn't say what stays free. Klavi, from the AppHunt team, teaches on your own piano for free to start: Piano Basics, 11 easy songs and daily note, ear and rhythm trainers, with no account and no ads. With the AppHunt promo code you get the full version of Klavi for free, for good.

Hello Piano is free to download, and Gismart's listing calls it a free piano tutor, but it doesn't say which lessons and games stay free. Gismart says premium brings a personalized path, unlimited games and no ads, sold as weekly subscriptions, one of them starting with a three-day trial. The US App Store lists plans called Piano Teacher from $7.99 to $39.99 and Pro Piano Lessons at $7.99 without billing periods; these are US prices on November 3, 2026, and they may change.

Is Hello Piano free?

Gismart's App Store text calls Hello Piano a personal piano tutor for free and describes a songbook, four kinds of games (rhythm, music sheets, playing technique and ear training), theory lessons, daily practice tasks, progress stats and two video courses, a 15-day beginner challenge and a Music Fun course. It never separates the free parts from the paid ones. The only line it draws is that a subscription gives a personalized experience, unlimited games and no ads, which suggests the free version caps the games and shows ads. One review from January 2026 says everything, even the day-one lessons, was behind a paywall.

How much does Hello Piano cost?

The US App Store lists Piano Teacher at $7.99, $9.99, $11.99, $19.99, $24.99, $31.99 and $39.99, some of them more than once, and Pro Piano Lessons at $7.99. The listing doesn't name a billing period for any of them. Its text mentions a weekly plan that begins with a three-day trial and a weekly plan without one, both renewing automatically. Gismart's app terms say a trial is offered only if the checkout says so, that a trial turns into a paid plan unless you cancel more than a day before it ends, and that App Store refund requests go to Apple. These are US App Store prices on November 3, 2026, and they may change.

Klavi or Hello Piano: how they compare

Klavi, made by the AppHunt team, covers the same ground as Hello Piano's games, but on a real piano. Note Sprint trains note reading, and its ear and rhythm trainers match those games; the difference is that Klavi hears you through the microphone or USB and Bluetooth MIDI and, in Wait mode, stops until you press the right key. Six courses with 36 lessons teach you to read notation from lesson one, and 32 pieces come at up to three levels. The free part includes Piano Basics plus the opening lesson of each other course, 11 easy songs and a daily round of every trainer, with no account and no ads. Klavi Pro, which opens everything, is free with AppHunt's promo code at apphunt.app/app/klavi-pro; the App Store sells it at $39.99 a year, $89.99 once or $4.99 a week. Hello Piano offers things Klavi doesn't: more game types, video lessons and a songbook of tunes you may know, where Klavi's songs are classical, folk and holiday pieces. Klavi is built for iPhone with iOS 17 or later, has no Android version and is new, with no ratings yet.

About Hello Piano

Hello Piano, from Gismart Ltd, has 12,776 ratings averaging 4.4 in the US App Store. It is closer to a set of music games and short lessons than to a course that checks your playing: the listing talks about rhythm, note reading, ear training and playing technique, and doesn't mention listening to a real piano. It runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 15.0 or later, and its latest update, 1.57, came out on October 20, 2026. It suits people who want a game-like way to learn note names and rhythm on the phone screen, and not those who already have a piano to practice on.

Reviews from late 2025 and early 2026 are mostly about cancelling and charges, and one says even the day-one lessons are locked.

How much does Hello Piano cost?

Is there a Hello Piano promo code?

AppHunt has no promo code for Hello Piano. Gismart's terms say it may run promotional discounts and that they apply only to the first payment, not to renewals. If you want a free piano app, Klavi is free to start, and AppHunt has a promo code at apphunt.app/app/klavi-pro that unlocks Klavi Pro.

Does Hello Piano have a free trial?

Sometimes. The listing mentions a weekly plan that starts with a three-day trial next to a weekly plan without one. Gismart's terms say a trial is offered only when the checkout states it, and that it becomes a paid plan unless you cancel more than a day before it ends.

How do I cancel Hello Piano?

If you subscribed through the App Store, on your iPhone open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Hello Piano and cancel more than a day before renewal. Gismart's terms say App Store refunds are handled by Apple. Many reviews from 2026 describe trouble cancelling or charges after a cancellation, so check that the subscription shows under your Apple Account.

Does Hello Piano work with a real piano?

The listing doesn't describe listening to a real piano or a MIDI keyboard. Two reviewers in 2026 say they could not use it with their own piano, and one says its MIDI support found nothing. Klavi hears an acoustic or digital piano through the microphone and also takes MIDI.

What is the best free alternative to Hello Piano?

For learning on your own piano, Klavi, made by the AppHunt team, is free to start: a Piano Basics course, 11 easy songs and daily trainers, with no account or ads, and our promo code unlocks Klavi Pro. It has fewer games and no video lessons, so Hello Piano is the bigger game set; our list of free piano learning apps has more options.
