Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Durham OnAir at none against Auranova's 1. Durham OnAir also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Auranova's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 15 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
