Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CBS at 4.8 against WBCL Beatz's 4.0. CBS also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 1). WBCL Beatz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
