Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Metronome at 5.0 against Drum Coach's 4.7. Drum Coach's advantage is ratings volume (441 vs 9). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Drum Coach sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Metronome sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Metronome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drum Coach has 441 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Drum Coach ships an update fortnightly, Metronome every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
