Jingle+ is the only shaker-instrument app that feels and sounds like a real instrument. Move and shake your phone and it feels just like holding a tambourine, maraca, egg shaker, or jingle/sleigh bells— expressively and in real time. Jingle uses high-precision motion data from the accelerometer to produce the same behaviour and range of sounds found in a real instrument – making it ideal for use live on stage or in the studio.
Clockworks Mobile

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Jingle+ at $0.99 against Clockworks Mobile's $19.99. Clockworks Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
