Curation and discovery-- they have celebrity and music curator created playlists. They also have an interesting Pandora-like radio where you can essentially select a mood and it'll build a playlist for you.

I think all streaming services have a form of this, heck even iTunes store has celebrity curated and Genius.

Most streaming services just use echonest... so quality probably is pretty similar across the board. You may get variations depending on your own personal preferences and the seed artists you provide.
