Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kabayan Radio at none against Keylimba's 1. Kabayan Radio also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Keylimba's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
