Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ラジオ (日本ラジオ) at 4.1 against USEN's 1.0. ラジオ (日本ラジオ) also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1). USEN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ラジオ (日本ラジオ) sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. USEN asks for nothing beyond the download.
ラジオ (日本ラジオ) holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ラジオ (日本ラジオ) has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of USEN's written reviews are positive against 36% of ラジオ (日本ラジオ)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
USEN ships an update every 5 months, ラジオ (日本ラジオ) every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
