Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ravvie at 100% against Loudwire's 40%. Ravvie also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Loudwire's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 16). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
