Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DanceTime Lite at none against CalBud's shown. DanceTime Lite also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). CalBud's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
