Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Radio Yar at none against Cinofa's 4. Radio Yar also leads on ratings volume (197 vs 1). Cinofa's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
