# NEPM vs Supercast

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Supercast at 92% against NEPM's 43%. Supercast also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 15 months). NEPM's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Supercast holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supercast has 209 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of NEPM's written reviews are positive against 92% of Supercast's.

NEPM ships an update every 15 months, Supercast weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
