Use Audio Deck to listen to your sketches, mixes, and any other audio you're working on. Organize your tracks into folders, arrange and sort them, and also tag tracks. If all you need is an audio player, those features are all free. With a subscription, your tracks will be uploaded to the cloud. Your audio library will be available across all your devices and will stay in sync. If your device gets full (as it does), you can clear the storage on your device. When you need to listen to those tracks, just download them again. The Audio Deck Cloud service keeps the originals for you. A subscription also allows you to share your tracks. If you are annoyed by using standard file-sharing apps to send music, this part is for you. In Audio Deck, you create a link, and you send that link to your friend. That link will open Audio Deck on your friend's device, and they can immediately download and listen to your music. If you give permission, they can also export and save the original file. Receiving and listening to a shared folder is free and works across different mobile devices, so your subscription makes collaboration wonderfully easy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AV link at 5.0 against Audio Deck's 4.0. AV link also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Audio Deck's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 25%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
