The clearest difference is price: pondar at Free against Progress's $3.99. pondar also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Progress's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
