Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WNRN at 3.4 against 96X's 2.8. WNRN also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (56% vs 40%). 96X's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
