Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Guitarify at none against Drum Beats's shown. Guitarify also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Drum Beats's advantage is ratings volume (962 vs 2) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
