Verdict

The call

LRS 102.com and DistroKid both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of LRS 102.com's written reviews are positive against 65% of DistroKid's. LRS 102.com also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). DistroKid's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 73) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
