Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WHRadio at none against PianoStream's 6. WHRadio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). PianoStream's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (217 vs 8). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

WHRadio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

PianoStream ships an update every 2 months, WHRadio every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
