Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: B102.9 at none against Q106's shown. B102.9 also leads on update cadence (every 9 months vs every 33 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Q106's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
