Metronome Plus vs Pro Metronome

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. Nighp Software describes itself as an independent app studio making mobile apps since 2012 and lists [email protected] for support. Its privacy policy says Firebase Analytics records screen-open and default events. Advertising platforms may collect device identifiers, MAC addresses, IMEI, coarse location, and IP addresses. App-use logs are stored locally and may be attached to support emails, with editing or removal available.

Pro Metronome is an Android and iOS app for music practice and stage performance. It offers 13 metronome tones, adjustable time signatures and accents, and tempo entry by tapping. The maker says its Real-Time Playback technology provides accuracy of ±20μs. A basic tuner is included; Pro adds a tuner with customizable A4 calibration and temperaments. Pro features also include subdivisions, polyrhythms, programmable playlists, a rhythm trainer, and automatic tempo changes in Practice Mode. On iOS, playback can sync between devices via Ableton Link, and Bluetooth or MIDI control pedals are supported. The App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch, with iPhone compatibility requiring iOS 16.0 or later. The free version includes basic metronome features and is ad-free. Listed paid options are $0.99 a month, $3.99, paid once for Pro Version, and $3.99 a year. On Android, flash mode requires a flash-enabled device and camera permission, while vibration requires a phone.
