Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SoundMute at none against 波紋's shown. SoundMute also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). 波紋's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
