Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tune.fm at 5.0 against BMI Online Services's 2.7. Tune.fm also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 18%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). BMI Online Services's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
