Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tunesome at none against Poly 2's 1. Tunesome also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Poly 2's advantage is ratings volume (686 vs 5) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
