# Metronome+ vs iMetronom

The clearest difference is rating: Metronome+ at 4.5 against iMetronom's 3.7. Metronome+ also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 9). iMetronom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metronome+ sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and iMetronom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Metronome+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metronome+ has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Metronome+ ships an update every 6 weeks, iMetronom every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
