pratnome is a metronome that changes the tempo for you. Start at 70 BPM, add 10 BPM every 4 bars, stop at 120 β and keep both hands on your instrument. Set it up in seconds: choose a starting tempo, how many bars to play before each change and how much to go up or down. pratnome follows the plan bar by bar, so you build speed step by step without stopping to touch the screen. THREE PRACTICE MODES β’ Auto progression β the tempo rises or falls every few bars, between the limits you set. β’ Fixed tempo β a classic, steady click for as long as you play. β’ Silence training β the click drops out for a few bars and comes back. Are you still in time? Silences can stay fixed, grow longer or vary at random. RHYTHM β’ Time signatures from 2/4 to 12/8, or your own β’ Subdivisions: eighths, triplets and sixteenths β’ Swing for eighths and sixteenths β’ Accent each beat: strong, normal, soft or mute β’ A count-in before you start, or before every tempo change PRACTICE PROGRAMS Build routines from steps β each with its own tempo, bar count and rhythm β repeat them a set number of rounds or loop forever. Start from a ready-made template, share a program as a link, and start any saved program with one tap. STAY ON TRACK β’ Session target: stop after a number of minutes or bars β’ Pause and resume exactly where you left off β’ Practice history with weekly practice time and personal bests β’ Voice announcements of the new tempo APPLE WATCH Follow the tempo, bar and step on your wrist, and start, pause or stop a session without picking up your phone.

Mr. Drum is a rhythm trainer for players who want to know how their timing actually feels. Play along to studio-quality drum patterns, and Mr. Drum measures where each of your hits lands against the beat - ahead of it (Push), behind it (Layback), or right on it (Center). PRACTICE TO REAL PATTERNS - 4-beat, 8-beat, 16-beat, swing and Latin styles, each with multiple variations - Tempo from a slow practice crawl up to full speed, with tap tempo - A count-in that follows the actual time signature of the pattern (3/4, 6/8, 12/8 and more) - Per-instrument mixer so you can pull the kick up or take the ride down - Haptic metronome and a visual flasher for practicing quietly SEE YOUR TIMING, NOT JUST HEAR IT - Play along with the microphone, or tap along on screen - both are analyzed the same way - Every session gives you an average offset in milliseconds, how consistent you were, and which beats you rush or drag the most - Tempo drift is separated from feel, so "playing behind the beat" is never confused with "slowing down" - Your Groove Profile builds up over time from your practice history TIME FEEL (PRO) Shift snare, ride, toms and percussion ahead of or behind the beat independently, and hear how a groove changes when the parts do not sit in the same place. YOUR AUDIO STAYS YOURS Mr. Drum listens through the microphone, but audio is never recorded or saved. Only the timing of each hit is kept, and it never leaves your device. There is no account, no sign-in, and no server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: pratnome at none against Mr. Drum's 1. Mr. Drum's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
