Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Takebook at 100% against Soundbooth App's 32%. Takebook also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and ads (none vs shown). Soundbooth App's advantage is ratings volume (207 vs 2) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
