Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Media Notch at every 2 weeks against Ravinia's every 12 months. Media Notch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ravinia's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
