Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Star 99.7 at none against 95sx's shown. Star 99.7 also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). 95sx's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 22 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
