Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PadiRadio at 100% against Radio Gilli's 20%. PadiRadio also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Radio Gilli's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
