Verdict

The call

VJ and YouSound both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of YouSound's written reviews are positive against 31% of VJ's. YouSound also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (81 vs 1). VJ's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
