What are Klangio's tickets?

Tickets are single-use credits for full transcriptions. The US App Store lists 1 for $2.99, 3 for $4.99, 10 for $9.99 and 50 for $24.99. One reviewer there says unused ones are lost when a subscription ends, so check this before you buy.

Which one handles a full band better?

We haven't tested them on the same songs, so we can't say. Klangio's website says it isolates the guitar from other instruments, while its iOS listing says mixed recordings give poor results. BeatMap's own tests show it's weak on full band mixes.

In Klangio, yes: its developer points to an edit mode for subscribers. BeatMap has no note editor today. You can export a MIDI file on Pro and Master and edit it elsewhere.
