Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Podverse at Free against Skoon's $0.99. Podverse also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). Skoon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
