The clearest difference is ads: SoundState at none against Thasis's shown. SoundState also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Thasis's advantage is ratings volume (133 vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
