Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WindsUp at none against SPOTYRIDE's shown. WindsUp also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SPOTYRIDE's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 17 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
