Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Metricool at free with in-app purchases against Podcast Studio's subscription. Metricool also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (117 vs 1). Podcast Studio's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metricool sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $30.00 per month and Podcast Studio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Podcast Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metricool has 117 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Metricool's written reviews are positive against 13% of Podcast Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Metricool ships an update every 2 weeks, Podcast Studio every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
