Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Subjam at none against PadiRadio's shown. Subjam also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PadiRadio's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 19 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
