Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VoxAtmos at 5.0 against ListenNow+'s 4.0. VoxAtmos also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). ListenNow+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (56 vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
