Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Phigros at none against ThumBeat's shown. Phigros also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 3) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). ThumBeat's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
