Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Discogs at none against 8Radio.com Live's shown. Discogs also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 25 months) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). 8Radio.com Live's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
