# HyperCatcher vs Podcast Kiosk

The clearest difference is rating: Podcast Kiosk at 5.0 against HyperCatcher's 4.1. Podcast Kiosk also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). HyperCatcher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HyperCatcher sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Podcast Kiosk sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Podcast Kiosk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HyperCatcher has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

HyperCatcher ships an update every 5 days, Podcast Kiosk fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
