Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IM News at none against Nottingham Post's 2. IM News also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (46% vs 29%). Nottingham Post's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
