Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: sssMusic at Free against GaMBi's $4.99. sssMusic also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). GaMBi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
