Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SANSUI at none against Original sound's shown. SANSUI also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Original sound's advantage is rating (2.9 vs 2.5) and review sentiment (26% vs 8%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
