Whether you're a musician, DJ, or VJ, Tempi gives you a real-time tempo tracker that follows along as you play, with remarkable accuracy across every genre. * Listens while you (or your entire band) play * Reports the BPM (beats per minute) of your performance in real time with remarkable accuracy * Analyze your sessions to pinpoint and improve problem areas * Flash the screen on the beat with BeatSync * Sync pedals, loopers, and apps to the beat via Ableton Link * Tap for Tempo to quickly get a BPM reading at any time * Switch themes for easy nighttime use or just to suit your style * Save recording sessions for later analysis * Sync lighting, VFX, and other devices to the beat via Ableton Link * Graphs the BPM of tracks in your set over time * Includes an EQ visualizer * Fine-tune responsiveness, frequency filters, and detection sensitivity

ClickRig™ is a metronome with a customizable rhythm mixer, presets, and setlists for iPhone and iPad. AT PRACTICE, ON STAGE, & IN STUDIO. Craft the click for the part you're working on, then save the settings for your next session or song. BUILD YOUR RHYTHM Adjust tempo with a slider, one-BPM or ten-BPM steps, or Tap Tempo. Set up to 16 beats per bar. Follow visual beat indicators with a distinct first-beat accent. Add eighth-note or sixteenth-note swing, or use the halftime option. MIX THE LAYERS Control six rhythm channels: Beat, Quarter, Eighth, Sixteenth, Triplet, and Other. Each channel has its own volume, mute, and stereo panning. Choose from multiple sounds. Double-tap a pan control to return it to center. CRAFT YOUR CLICKS. SAVE YOUR SETLISTS. Store metronome settings as presets. Build setlists of named songs, each with a complete copy of its metronome settings. Create, rename, duplicate, and delete setlists; arrange, rename, update, or remove songs. MOVE THROUGH YOUR SET Select a song while stopped to load its settings and wait for START. Select another song during playback to queue the change for the end of the current bar. Layouts adapt to iPhone and iPad, with portrait and landscape orientations and light and dark modes. Background playback lets the click continue when the app is in the background. An included manual explains the controls. Presets and setlists are stored locally. ClickRig has no developer-operated server, analytics, or advertising. A shared purchase does not mean shared presets or setlists: ClickRig does not provide automatic cross-device sharing or cloud sync.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ClickRig Mobile at Free against Tempi's $6.99. ClickRig Mobile also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). Tempi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and chart position (#179 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
