Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WMNF Player at none against Q105's shown. WMNF Player also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Q105's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 56%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
