Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pollsition at Free against Current's $9.99. Pollsition also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 18.0). Current's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
