Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: BoostBeat at Free against Chroma Sync's $0.99. BoostBeat also leads on rating (3.7 vs 3.3). Chroma Sync's advantage is ratings volume (137 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
