Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SEN Radio at 4.7 against Play AFL's 4.2. SEN Radio also leads on ratings volume (132 vs 12). Play AFL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SEN Radio sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Play AFL asks for nothing beyond the download.
SEN Radio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SEN Radio has 132 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of SEN Radio's written reviews are positive against 65% of Play AFL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SEN Radio ships an update every 2 weeks, Play AFL fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
