Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HSonicPro at none against Singing Machine Karaoke's 16. HSonicPro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Singing Machine Karaoke's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 3) and chart position (#112 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
