Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: StreetSampler at Free against SynthMaker Techno's $1.99. StreetSampler also leads on ads (none vs shown). SynthMaker Techno's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On device support there is nothing between them.
