Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Webtrees mobile at Free against Radio's $3.99. Webtrees mobile also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 months). Radio's advantage is chart position (#89 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
