The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tappy Drums at none against Balance's 2. Tappy Drums also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). Balance's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
