Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SongShift at 4.7 against Skullcandy's 3.0. SongShift also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 18%) and ratings volume (67K vs 113). Skullcandy's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
