Verdict
Podbean Pro and Go HWS Mobile both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Podbean Pro's written reviews are positive against 32% of Go HWS Mobile's. Podbean Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Go HWS Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 255) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
