Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Metronome M1 at none against MusicControl's 1. Metronome M1 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). MusicControl's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
