Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: spf.today at none against Sunmelon's shown. spf.today also leads on ratings volume (35 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Sunmelon's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
