Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Podeux at none against Podverse's 1. Podeux also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). Podverse's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Podverse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Podeux asks for nothing beyond the download.
Podeux holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Podverse has 1.9K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Podverse's written reviews are positive against 100% of Podeux's.
Podverse ships an update every 10 days, Podeux every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
