Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MyTabla at none against Metronome Beats Pro's shown. MyTabla also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Metronome Beats Pro's advantage is ratings volume (5.6K vs 1) and review sentiment (83% vs 62%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyTabla holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metronome Beats Pro has 5.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Metronome Beats Pro's written reviews are positive against 62% of MyTabla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Metronome Beats Pro ships an update every 5 weeks, MyTabla fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
