Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WhatPlus at none against Original sound's shown. WhatPlus also leads on rating (3.4 vs 2.9) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Original sound's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (52 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
