Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FrequencyCat at none against SoundNode's 1. FrequencyCat also leads on ads (none vs shown). SoundNode's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 40 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
