Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlindBoxes at none against PopPods's 5. BlindBoxes also leads on ads (none vs shown). PopPods's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 108 months) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
