Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YidPod at none against ChaiFlicks's 7. YidPod also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). ChaiFlicks's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 56%) and ratings volume (252 vs 28). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
