Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Public Mobile at 4.5 against PheedLoop Go's 2.4. Public Mobile also leads on ratings volume (253 vs 8). PheedLoop Go's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Public Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Public Mobile has 253 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Public Mobile's written reviews are positive against 60% of PheedLoop Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Public Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, PheedLoop Go every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
