By our entirely fabricated metrics, Spotify wins the race to the bottom of your free time. Podcasts by Google is the “responsible” choice, in the way that a slightly smaller slice of cake is responsible. There are no winners here. Only documented hours.

Podcasts by Google is a solid choice for casual podcast listeners who want a free and straightforward experience without a lot of bells and whistles. Power users seeking advanced features and robust customization may be better served by a third-party app, but it's an excellent entry point for Google users wanting to explore podcasts.

Spotify remains the default choice for music streaming due to its unmatched catalog and discovery features, but it's increasingly difficult to recommend wholeheartedly. Best for users who prioritize music discovery and don't mind paying for Premium to avoid the ad-heavy free experience; avoid if you need reliable technical performance or want included audiobooks without extra fees.
