TapKit is the first BPM finder that doesn't need your hands on the screen. Set your phone on a desk, on your knee, or in your pocket — and tap. TapKit reads the impact through your device's motion sensors and shows you the BPM instantly. Lock it in, and TapKit becomes a precise metronome tuned to your tempo. WHY MUSICIANS LIKE IT - Tap with anything — finger, drumstick, foot — your hands stay on your instrument - Sample-accurate metronome with subdivisions, time signatures, and accented downbeats - Mic mode (optional) — tap audibly and TapKit hears it too - Haptic metronome — silent practice, perfect for quiet rooms - Save your recent BPMs with labels - Beautiful, calm, distraction-free design built for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass OUR PROMISE - No login. Ever. - No ads. Ever. - No tracking. Ever. - Your data never leaves your phone. FREE & FULLY FEATURED TapKit is free with everything you need to find tempos and practice with a metronome. TapKit Pro is a one-time $3.99 unlock that adds polyrhythms, odd time signatures, extra click sound packs, visual themes, and background playback. You'll never need a subscription. Made by an indie developer who got tired of finger-tapping the screen.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TapKit at none against Drum Sets's shown. Drum Sets's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
