# Podcast Maker vs RSS Reader Offline | Podcast

The clearest difference is ads: RSS Reader Offline | Podcast at none against Podcast Maker's shown. RSS Reader Offline | Podcast also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Podcast Maker's advantage is ratings volume (419 vs 6) and review sentiment (84% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Podcast Maker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and RSS Reader Offline | Podcast sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RSS Reader Offline | Podcast holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Podcast Maker has 419 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Podcast Maker's written reviews are positive against 67% of RSS Reader Offline | Podcast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Podcast Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, RSS Reader Offline | Podcast monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
