Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Radio Orpheus at none against Classical Music Player ٞ's shown. Radio Orpheus also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Classical Music Player ٞ's advantage is ratings volume (741 vs 13) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
