Queue is the simplest podcast app out there. New episodes from your subscriptions automatically appear in one simple list, your Queue. From here you can either play them, or archive them. When you open an episode, you see the title and show notes right away, and you can also play the episode from here. We also have full support for chapters and chapter artwork, and we even detect timestamps in the episode show notes and turn them into interactive chapters. The entire app was custom designed to offer you the simplest possible podcast experience, and it's full of beautiful little touches and fun details. I've spent month designing and building Queue for you, and I have some really cool ideas for it. I can't wait to hear what you think! - Eike Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Queue at Free against Mocast's $4.99. Queue also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (86 vs 2). Mocast's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
