Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Instruments Free at Free against Salsa Percussion's $0.99. Instruments Free also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 15%). Salsa Percussion's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.6). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
