Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Watch Faces at 52% against SoundCloud's 0%. Watch Faces also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). SoundCloud's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
