Easy Metronome vs Metronome Plus

Easy Metronome provides a steady beat for music practice, lessons, and live performance. Tempo ranges from 1 to 999 BPM and can be entered as a whole number or decimal, or set by tapping along. Beat controls allow 1–16 beats per bar, 12 time signature presets, subdivisions, and adjustable emphasis for each beat. Included sounds are digital, drum, metronome, sine, and wooden block; additional sound packs are optional in-app purchases.

The practice timer can run for up to 9 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. Visual options include up to 12 light and dark themes, with wallpaper-colour matching on Android 13 and later. The app is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. The maker also lists support for phones, tablets, Chromebooks, Mac, Wear OS, and Apple Watch, plus tiles, widgets, and shortcuts. Playback can start via Bluetooth or ignore Bluetooth start requests. The maker says no account or sign-up is required and there are no interrupting ads. Easy Metronome was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Quebec, Canada.

Metronome Plus is an iOS app for musicians’ daily practice, recording sessions, and live performance. It uses real-time audio technology and includes training, practice, recording, and other modes. Users can set tempo, time signature, subdivision, polyrhythm, and accents, then save rhythms in the playlist manager or upload new ones. The app provides 16 sound options, multiple themes and backgrounds, and AirPlay support. Subdivision control and polyrhythm support are available, but tap tempo is not. The Free plan costs nothing and includes ads with no background play. The Full version costs $2.99, paid once, removes ads, and enables background play.
