Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Thunder Kiss at free against Discogs's free with in-app purchases. Thunder Kiss also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Discogs's advantage is ratings volume (67K vs 2) and chart position (#142 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
