Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: KSJS Radio at 100% against Last.fm's 19%. KSJS Radio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Last.fm's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
