Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Radionaut at none against SoundNode's 1. Radionaut also leads on ads (none vs shown). SoundNode's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
