# News vs DR E

The clearest difference is rating: News at 5.0 against DR E's 4.5. News also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). DR E's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

News holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DR E has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
