Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PlaySpot at none against BarBase's shown. PlaySpot also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). BarBase's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
