Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MUNICH FM at none against RadioBeam's 1. MUNICH FM also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). RadioBeam's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
