Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Forest Bounty at none against PopPods's shown. Forest Bounty also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). PopPods's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
