Steelpan 3D is free to download; Djembe Thumb Drum costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Djembe Thumb Drum holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steelpan 3D has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Djembe Thumb Drum's written reviews are positive against 33% of Steelpan 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
