Metronome Time vs Tempo by Frozen Ape

Metronome Time is a free online metronome for students, teachers and professional musicians. It runs on the web, iOS and Android, with tempos from 25 to 240 BPM and time signatures from 1/4 to 12/4. The first beat of each measure is accented. Users can adjust volume, choose accent patterns, use visual-only cues, tap a tempo and control subdivisions. Practice tools include saved presets, practice tracking, daily streaks and a tempo trainer that gradually increases speed. Haptic feedback works on supported Android devices and Chrome browsers. After visiting the site, it can be installed as a Progressive Web App and used offline. Practice statistics, presets and settings are stored locally in the browser or device. The maker says the tool is designed primarily for practice and recommends checking it in the user’s own setup before live performance. Feedback and bug reports can be sent through the widget or contact form, with replies stated as taking 24–48 hours. Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Resend are used for listed analytics and contact-email functions.

Tempo by Frozen Ape is a metronome app for Android and iOS, with free Lite editions and paid versions. The iOS app supports tempos from 10 to 800 BPM and lists 35 time signatures, six rhythm patterns for simple meters, and three for compound meters. Users can save presets in setlists and share them by email as Tempo files or text; Android setlist files also work with iOS. On iOS, practice tracking can count bars or elapsed time and stop playback when a chosen limit is reached. The listed audio and display options include 14 sound sets, voice counting, vibration, stereo panning, pulsating LEDs, and full-screen display. The app also lists support for external input devices such as AirTurn, iRig BlueBoard, PageFlip Cicada, and headphone remotes. Tempo Lite is free on both platforms, with in-app purchases; the Android Lite edition contains ads. The paid Android app costs $1.49, paid once, and the iOS version costs $2.99, paid once. Both paid editions include in-app purchases.
