Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PushCheck at none against PingPod's shown. PushCheck also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PingPod's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (965 vs 8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
