Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Babylon FM at 4.5 against Toby.Audio's 3.8. Babylon FM also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and ratings volume (23 vs 4). Toby.Audio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
