Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Click Metronome at 82% against Pulse Metronome's 17%. Click Metronome also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (294 vs 2). Pulse Metronome's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
