Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SoundTable Home at 5.0 against Twinkly's 4.6. SoundTable Home also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Twinkly's advantage is ratings volume (48K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
