Verdict
The clearest difference is price: WRPL at Free against Radio's $3.99. WRPL also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Radio's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

WRPL is free to download; Radio costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WRPL holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Radio ships an update every 4 months, WRPL every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
