Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Babble at none against OverHerd's shown. Babble also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). OverHerd's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (38 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
