Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lounge at none against BBCstudents's shown. Lounge also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 42 months) and ratings volume (371 vs 1). BBCstudents's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
