Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DeltaBeats at 85% against RainyWave's 0%. DeltaBeats also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). RainyWave's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
