Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NGKHartenbos at none against Jacaranda FM's shown. NGKHartenbos also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Jacaranda FM's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
