Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Discogs at none against Listend's 2. Discogs also leads on chart position (#130 vs unranked). Listend's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (67% vs 40%). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
