Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 2nd try at none against Castable App's shown. 2nd try also leads on chart position (#153 vs unranked). Castable App's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
