Beatmeat
Read full descriptionHide full description
Beatmeat turns beat scenes into a tactile pad instrument. Pick a scene and tap the coloured pads to fire drum hits, loops and guitar stabs ā everything is quantised to the beat, so it stays tight no matter how you play. Each scene is a little performance surface: one-shot pads, sample clusters and step sequencers, all tuned to a track. Hold a sequence pad to run a looping pattern, stack layers on top, and play along in real time. New scenes arrive over the air, so your library grows without waiting for app updates ā and everything is cached for offline play. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Just tap and play.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beatmeat at none against BeatFive's 1. Beatmeat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
