Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: WikiFM at every 5 days against FathomVerse's every 6 weeks. WikiFM also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). FathomVerse's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 14) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
