Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Saycut at 5.0 against Larix Broadcaster's 3.6. Saycut also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Larix Broadcaster's advantage is ratings volume (131 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
