Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: rythmic at none against Metronome+'s shown. rythmic also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Metronome+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 13) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
