Verdict
JamBase and soundcheckd both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of soundcheckd's written reviews are positive against 55% of JamBase's. soundcheckd also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). JamBase's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
