Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Codecast at none against App Preview Recorder's 1. Codecast also leads on ads (none vs shown). App Preview Recorder's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
