Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DrumSChops at Free against Drumcount's $2.99. DrumSChops also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months). Drumcount's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
