Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PrimeDJ at 5.0 against Socket.dj's 2.8. PrimeDJ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). Socket.dj's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
