Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FirstLove Radio at none against Polywave's 1. FirstLove Radio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Polywave's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Polywave sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FirstLove Radio asks for nothing beyond the download.
FirstLove Radio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Polywave has 34 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Polywave's written reviews are positive against 100% of FirstLove Radio's.
