# Words vs ENpodcast

The clearest difference is rating: ENpodcast at 5.0 against Words's 4.5. ENpodcast also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 17.1). Words's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 3) and review sentiment (50% vs 30%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Words sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and ENpodcast sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ENpodcast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Words has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Words's written reviews are positive against 30% of ENpodcast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
