Verdict
Radiate and Daekon both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Daekon's written reviews are positive against 65% of Radiate's. Radiate's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 4) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Radiate against 5.0 for Daekon.
