The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pilot Radio at none against Picks's 4. Pilot Radio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). Picks's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
