Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Articles at 4.8 against aCHo's 3.0. The Articles also leads on ratings volume (150 vs 2). aCHo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Articles sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. aCHo asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Articles holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Articles has 150 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of aCHo's written reviews are positive against 79% of The Articles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
aCHo ships an update every 2 months, The Articles every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
