Most metronomes give you one tempo and hold it there. Music does not work that way, and neither does getting better at it. This one changes tempo while you play. RANDOM TEMPO Set a range — 70 to 140 BPM, say — and the tempo moves inside it. Every 30 seconds, every 8 bars, or at intervals it picks for itself. Cap how far it may jump for a gentle drift, or leave it uncapped and hold on. GAP TRAINER The click plays for a few bars, then goes silent while you keep the tempo yourself. When it comes back, you hear whether you drifted. The beat indicators go dark during the silence, so there is nothing to lean on. Tempo changes wait until the click returns, because a change you cannot hear would make the exercise meaningless. GLIDE Instead of jumping, the tempo can slide gradually into each new value over a few seconds. Good for practising a controlled accelerando. EVERYTHING ELSE Time signatures from 2/4 to 12/8, with the accent on beat one — or switch that accent off so every beat sounds identical Eighths, triplets and sixteenths Three click sounds, from a dry tick to a woodblock Tap tempo Shuffle straight to a new tempo, from the app or from your headphones Save your practice setups as presets Lock screen and headphone controls Keeps playing with the screen off, and can mix with a backing track BUILT AROUND THE TIMING Every click is scheduled ahead of time on the audio clock rather than fired by a timer. That is why the beat stays where it should be instead of slowly sliding, even at high tempos with sixteenths running.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Prime MultiTrack App at none against Drift's shown. Prime MultiTrack App also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
