Sound Padは、端末内の音楽を24個のボタンにアサインして再生する事ができる、シンプルなサウンドプレーヤーアプリです。 サンプラーなどの専門知識の必要な難しい設定や細かい機能を省き、シンプルな機能構成にする事で誰にでも簡単に使用できるサウンドプレーヤーアプリです。 スワイプで切り替え可能なオレンジとブルーの左右の２つのパッドはそれぞれ個別に再生が可能なので、BGMを流しながら効果音を再生する事も可能です。 結婚式の二次会、各種イベントでの音のポン出しなど、さまざまなシーンでご利用頂けます。 端末内の曲を使用しますので、ネットで公開されているフリーの音源などを利用する事が可能です。 また、Dropboxから音源をダウンロードしてアサインする事が出来ます。ダウンロードには高速ネットワーク通信を必要としますのでWi-Fi環境をお勧めします。 イベントなどでご利用の際には、予期せぬ着信音などが鳴らないように「機内モードON ／おやすみモードON」状態でのご利用をお勧めします。

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LivePlaybackApp at 100% against SoundPad's 43%. LivePlaybackApp also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). SoundPad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
