Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AXIUS Method at 5.0 against DrumsWatch's 1.5. AXIUS Method also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). DrumsWatch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
