Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GeoPodcast at 5.0 against HyperCatcher's 4.1. GeoPodcast also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). HyperCatcher's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
