Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CheckAED at 4.0 against POD Assistant's 3.0. CheckAED also leads on ratings volume (4 vs 1). POD Assistant's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
