Djembe Thumb Drum's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 9 months vs every 19 months). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Djembe Thumb Drum holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Setlist Carrot has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Djembe Thumb Drum's written reviews are positive against 50% of Setlist Carrot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Djembe Thumb Drum ships an update every 9 months, Setlist Carrot every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
