Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 93.1 The River at none against K101's shown. 93.1 The River also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (54 vs 6). K101's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
