Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: xkcd Lite at 4.5 against Soundbooth App's 3.1. xkcd Lite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Soundbooth App's advantage is ratings volume (210 vs 6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Soundbooth App sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. xkcd Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
xkcd Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soundbooth App has 210 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
