Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DISH Anywhere at every 2 weeks against K106's every 34 months. DISH Anywhere also leads on ratings volume (265K vs 4). K106's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
