Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sound Targets at none against Drum Sets's 1. Sound Targets also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). Drum Sets's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (18 vs 6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drum Sets sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sound Targets asks for nothing beyond the download.
Drum Sets holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Sound Targets's written reviews are positive against 50% of Drum Sets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sound Targets ships an update every 3 weeks, Drum Sets every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
