Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Audoken at 5.0 against C's 3.9. Audoken also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). C's advantage is ratings volume (634 vs 1) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
