Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 节拍器 at every 5 days against Ticks's every 3 months. 节拍器 also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 56%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Ticks's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ticks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 节拍器 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
节拍器 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 节拍器 has 1.7K ratings behind it against 238, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Ticks's written reviews are positive against 84% of 节拍器's.
Ticks ships an update every 3 months, 节拍器 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
