# iMetronom vs BounceMeter

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.

iMetronom is free to download; BounceMeter costs $1.99 up front. iMetronom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BounceMeter sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
