Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iMetronom at Free against BounceMeter's $1.99. iMetronom also leads on iOS requirement (9.2 vs 15.6). BounceMeter's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
