    SponsorBlock is primarily just a way to skip ads on YouTube, while AdGuard is a network-wide, client-wide, or browser-wide ad/tracker filter.

    It's for a singular site. Adguard is system wide.

    It’s a good alongside to any adblocker, as it provides a feature of blocking sponsors that I don’t believe is available elsewhere

    Adguard and Netguard show as alternatives to each other but I don't think they can be alternatives to each other in an almost exact way. Netguard networks your traffic, it's a firewall; I use adguard as an adblocker mostly by using it from private dns. They can be quite similar in some ways but I use them both for their special roles.
