Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GV at 4.3 against PulseAudio Streaming's 2.8. GV also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 4). PulseAudio Streaming's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
