The clearest difference is rating: PartyTu at 4.6 against Sound Loop's 3.6. PartyTu also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 32%) and ratings volume (4K vs 341). Sound Loop's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PartyTu sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Sound Loop asks for nothing beyond the download.
