Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ElevenReader at none against Podcript's shown. ElevenReader also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#82 vs unranked). Podcript's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
