For everyone who plays an instrument. Turn your sheet music into an instrument. Tap notes directly to perform. Enjoy rhythm practice, sight-reading, ear training, and simple song ideas with ease. • Play single notes and chords, with # / b by tapping the left or right edges • Tap length roughly changes note duration • Transpose • Metronome • Recording & Playback • Add takes to layer your performance • Change the key and tempo during playback • Performance data syncs with the companion app “Kalimbar” • Effects • Zoom in and out of the score • Zooming out enables a wider playable note range. 【FAQ】 Q. I’m concerned about the response time (latency) between tapping and hearing the sound. A. We recommend using the device’s built-in speaker or a wired connection (earphones/headphones via USB-C/Lightning). Note: Bluetooth (wireless) audio is more likely to introduce delay by design. Q. When I use 3-finger (or more) multitouch, the sound or behavior becomes unstable. A. If Settings > Accessibility > Zoom is ON, iOS/iPadOS prioritizes its built-in three-finger gestures, which can interfere with this app’s controls. If needed, please temporarily turn Zoom OFF.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CC Metronome at none against Melodician's shown. CC Metronome also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
