Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: YouListen at 4.5 against Sound Loop's 3.6. YouListen also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 32%) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 347). Sound Loop's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
