Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Radio Shadi at 4.6 against Darya's 3.5. Radio Shadi also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Darya's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 35 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Darya sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Radio Shadi asks for nothing beyond the download.
Radio Shadi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Darya has 286 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Radio Shadi's written reviews are positive against 31% of Darya's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Radio Shadi ships an update every 35 months, Darya every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
