I don't know that I agree it's unequivocally better, but it's at least strong competition. It's hard to objectively evaluate how well the two do at picking other artists you might like, so I won't try there. They both function essentially the same way, but with Spotify, you can play things whenever you want anyway. So, if you hear something on Spotify, you can instantly add it to a playlist. Pandora's model doesn't work that way, so it's tougher to save that really good track for later listening.

Spotify also has a variety of "apps" that help you find music as well. There are some that are social (e.g., last.fm) and others that just use a third-party algorithm to try and predict music you'll like (e.g., Moodagent).

(As a caveat, I have no idea what is restricted for free users these days, so I can't 100% guarantee that everything I described above is free.)
