Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BBQE at none against Metronome's shown. BBQE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Metronome's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (356 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Metronome sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and BBQE sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BBQE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metronome has 356 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Metronome's written reviews are positive against 100% of BBQE's.
Metronome ships an update every 3 weeks, BBQE every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
