Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: (undersight) at none against Podverse's 1. (undersight) also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Podverse's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
