TempoPerfect is free metronome software for keeping a clear and precise beat. Metronomes are essential for keeping time, improving practice sessions, and for developing a consistent rhythmic feel. With TempoPerfect musicians can accurately set the correct beats per minute (BPM) for any simple or compound tempo. Additional features allow you to subdivide beat patterns to hear tricky patterns like triplets, or accent the first beat in a measure when working in difficult time signatures. TempoPerfect also includes a tempo guide chart to quickly translate Italian tempo markings, so not only will you practice at the correct BPM, but you'll finally learn the difference between largo, andante, allegro and prestissimo.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TempoPerfect at none against Metronome+'s 7. TempoPerfect also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 68%). Metronome+'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months). On price 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 7 one-off in-app purchases. TempoPerfect asks for nothing beyond the download.
Metronome+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metronome+ has 1.2K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of TempoPerfect's written reviews are positive against 68% of Metronome+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TempoPerfect ships an update every 10 months, Metronome+ every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
