Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: InteroCast at free against Watch Feeds's free with in-app purchases. InteroCast also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Watch Feeds's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
