The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: DistroKid at 27K against AngeloAlfonso's 1. DistroKid also leads on chart position (#16 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). AngeloAlfonso's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
