Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Metronome at Free against Drumcount's $2.99. Metronome also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Drumcount's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
