# Devon Live vs GB News

The clearest difference is ads: GB News at none against Devon Live's shown. GB News also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 8). Devon Live's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Devon Live sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and GB News sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Devon Live holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GB News has 105 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Devon Live's written reviews are positive against 35% of GB News's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Devon Live ships an update monthly, GB News every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
