Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket at none against Overdubber's 1. Pocket also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Overdubber's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
