Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sound Counter at 100% against Xscope's 30%. Sound Counter also leads on rating (3.8 vs 2.5). Xscope's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
