Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Real Talk 93.3 at none against Talk Stream's 1. Real Talk 93.3 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Talk Stream's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
