Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 1Take at 100% against Advanced Sound's 26%. 1Take also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Advanced Sound's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
