Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KOOL 92.9 at 4.8 against Frndly TV's 3.6. KOOL 92.9 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17). Frndly TV's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
