Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Podly at 4.9 against LearnArt's 4.3. Podly also leads on ads (none vs shown). LearnArt's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Podly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and LearnArt sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Podly holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 39 and 43 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Podly's written reviews are positive against 78% of LearnArt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Podly ships an update every 10 days, LearnArt every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
