Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DTX Touch at 100% against Soundmondo's 31%. DTX Touch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Soundmondo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (47 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
