Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Superphonic at 4.5 against Minimal Podcast's 3.0. Superphonic also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1). Minimal Podcast's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superphonic sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Minimal Podcast sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Superphonic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superphonic has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Superphonic ships an update monthly, Minimal Podcast weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
