Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sole Classics at none against GBNY's shown. Sole Classics also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). GBNY's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
