Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SongReady at 100% against Sonos's 20%. SongReady also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sonos's advantage is ratings volume (941K vs 4) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SongReady holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonos has 941K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Sonos's written reviews are positive against 100% of SongReady's.
