Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Radio at none against Pure Score Reader's 1. Radio also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Pure Score Reader's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 26 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
