Drumli
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drumli is a tiny touch-sensitive drum. Only two pads to hit the bass and snare drum. As simple as it gets. ;) trick: choose where you set your device, and tap your screen with variable force but always gently, you don't need to hit it to reach maximum velocity, be kind to your device!
Bitbop

Tap the colored pads and a tiny band plays along. Bitbop is a chiptune groovebox where every pad is in key, so you can't hit a wrong note. Make a song in seconds. Pick a sound, tap a color, and a bassline, sparkle and drums lock in around you. There is nothing to read and no menu maze. Beginners sound great at once, and there is plenty underneath for people who want to go deep. FIVE SOUND WORLDS Every world is its own synthesizer, built from scratch: - Bitbop - the signature chiptune sound, PWM lead and chip supersaw - Techno - a resonant lead, a clean sub and a punchy driven kit - Retro - a clear pulse melody, square chimes and a smooth triangle bass - Classical - bowed strings and a plucked harp in a concert-hall reverb - Dancehall - a syncopated sub, a skank chop and a steppers riddim 1,000+ SONGS TO START FROM Load a folk tune, a public-domain classic, a rave or techno groove, house, trance, drum and bass, lo-fi, hip-hop, afrobeat, latin, raga and more, then pull it apart and make it yours. Or tap Surprise me and let Bitbop sketch a new song. 100 VISUALIZER LOOKS Turn any jam into a full-screen light show: neon highways, jellyfish, kaleidoscopes, laser harps, 3D tunnels and more.

The clearest difference is device support: Drumli at 3 against Bitbop's 1. Drumli also leads on iOS requirement (9.3 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
