Verdict
RA Guide and FOUNDATION.FM both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of FOUNDATION.FM's written reviews are positive against 52% of RA Guide's. FOUNDATION.FM also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). RA Guide's advantage is ratings volume (8.1K vs 2) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
