Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: P.O.D App at none against Read4Me's 5. P.O.D App also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Read4Me's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
