Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Niblio at none against StudyPod's shown. Niblio also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%). StudyPod's advantage is ratings volume (62 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StudyPod sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Niblio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Niblio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StudyPod has 62 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
