The clearest difference is update cadence: Funky Maker at weekly against Sonolus's every 2 months. Funky Maker also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 51%). Sonolus's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 84). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sonolus sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Funky Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
