# Podverse vs Audio Dramas

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Audio Dramas at none against Podverse's 1. Podverse's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Podverse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Audio Dramas asks for nothing beyond the download.

Podverse holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Podverse has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
