Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Apex at none against The Rooster 101.5's shown. Apex also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 26 months). The Rooster 101.5's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
