Verdict
Bandcamp and LRS 102.com both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of LRS 102.com's written reviews are positive against 51% of Bandcamp's. LRS 102.com also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). Bandcamp's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 73) and chart position (#116 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
