Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dance Rev at none against Radio Forth's shown. Dance Rev also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Radio Forth's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (41 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
