Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AntenaPLAY at 3.9 against SWebCaster's 1.0. AntenaPLAY also leads on ratings volume (212 vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). SWebCaster's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
