Verdict

The call

LA Kings and Podium both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Podium's written reviews are positive against 52% of LA Kings's. Podium also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). LA Kings's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (596 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
