Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CrashMatrix Pro at 5.0 against Radio ID's 3.7. CrashMatrix Pro also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 7 months). Radio ID's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $9.99) and ratings volume (46 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
