The clearest difference is ratings volume: Kortext at 1.3K against Poth's 1. Kortext also leads on chart position (#71 vs unranked). Poth's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
