Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SFX Library at none against metronome for practice's 1. SFX Library also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). metronome for practice's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
