Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: éist at 5.0 against Sprewell Podcast's 4.3. éist also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Sprewell Podcast's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
