Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sheger FM 102.1 at 4.7 against WDET's 3.0. Sheger FM 102.1 also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 33%) and ratings volume (7.3K vs 14). WDET's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
