BeatBalance is a tool to help serious drummers efficiently hone crucial elements of basic technique: note spacing, timing accuracy, dynamic control, timekeeping and hand-foot coordination, using a practice pad. It's a runkeeper, but for drums. Identify problem areas with timing and dynamics, using millisecond-accurate measurement and unique analysis tools. Track progress over time and identify which elements of your practise routine are delivering benefits, and which need to be refined. Sharpen perception and execution with real-time feedback on timing and dynamics. Patented silent metronome and adaptive guide feedback help you develop confidence with timekeeping and advanced rhythms. Speed Builder mode (for subscribers) helps gradually increase the speed of execution: play accurately and consistently and the tempo of the metronome will increase for the next attempt.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BeatBalance at 5.0 against Drummit's 3.7. BeatBalance also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (69% vs 56%). Drummit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (34 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
