Verdict
Discogs and La Radioteca both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of La Radioteca's written reviews are positive against 40% of Discogs's. La Radioteca also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Discogs's advantage is ratings volume (67K vs 1) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
