Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Notevision at none against Metronome's shown. Notevision also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 8). Metronome's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Notevision sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Metronome sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Metronome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notevision has 3.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
