# The Press vs Blaze Feeds

The clearest difference is rating: The Press at 4.6 against Blaze Feeds's 4.0. The Press also leads on ratings volume (250 vs 2). Blaze Feeds's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Press sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Blaze Feeds sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Press holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Press has 250 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 6% of The Press's written reviews are positive against 0% of Blaze Feeds's.

The Press ships an update monthly, Blaze Feeds every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 26, 2026 respectively.
