Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Unsqueeze at Free against Spatialify's $2.99. Unsqueeze also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0). Spatialify's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On ratings volume, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
