Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: METRONOME Connect at free against Click Metronome's paid. METRONOME Connect also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). Click Metronome's advantage is ratings volume (295 vs 34). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
METRONOME Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Click Metronome has 295 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Click Metronome's written reviews are positive against 74% of METRONOME Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Click Metronome ships an update every 3 months, METRONOME Connect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
