Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: KSJS Radio at 100% against Discogs's 40%. KSJS Radio also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Discogs's advantage is ratings volume (67K vs 2) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KSJS Radio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discogs has 67K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Discogs's written reviews are positive against 100% of KSJS Radio's.
