Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Podcast Maker at 82% against Podigee's 38%. Podcast Maker also leads on ratings volume (412 vs 5). Podigee's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Podigee holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Podcast Maker has 412 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Podigee's written reviews are positive against 82% of Podcast Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Podigee ships an update fortnightly, Podcast Maker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
