Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MMP1 Controller at none against Drum Pad's 2. MMP1 Controller also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Drum Pad's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
