Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Irie Jam at 5.0 against HITZ 92FM's 4.6. Irie Jam also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). HITZ 92FM's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
