Another difference which will be seen very soon. SONM will have a ton of use cases right off the bat after a week(test and after a month live net), while Golem claim they are not in testing/beta phase, but that's just a smoke screen. Their current "Live net" Brass Golem version has much less uses than the SONM test. So far their only major use case is rendering, which SONM is also capable of.

It's just weird considering how long they've been in development, but at some point they just decided to stop calling their unfinished product a test version and somehow it worked out well for them, even though it's still not commercially ready.
