Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Discographic for Discogs at none against Recordz's shown. Discographic for Discogs also leads on ratings volume (436 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Recordz's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
