Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 97X (WYYX) at none against Loudwire's 2. 97X (WYYX) also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Loudwire's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
