Both are free to download. Drum Loops & Metronome sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and eBatuque sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Drum Loops & Metronome holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drum Loops & Metronome has 898 ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Drum Loops & Metronome's written reviews are positive against 59% of eBatuque's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Drum Loops & Metronome ships an update every 5 weeks, eBatuque every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
