Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Podcast Parrot at Free against Mocast's $4.99. Podcast Parrot also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 9 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Mocast's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and chart position (#40 vs unranked). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Podcast Parrot is free to download; Mocast costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mocast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Mocast's written reviews are positive against 100% of Podcast Parrot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mocast ships an update every 9 months, Podcast Parrot every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
