Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Радио онлайн at 5.0 against Radio FM's 4.4. Радио онлайн also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). Radio FM's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (174 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
