Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Radio Javan at 4.8 against Socket.dj's 2.8. Radio Javan also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (58% vs 29%). Socket.dj's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
