Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rhythm Tap at Free against PocketMicrowave's $0.99. Rhythm Tap also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 27.0). PocketMicrowave's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 40 months) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
