# MIT Technology Review vs The Juggernaut

The clearest difference is monetization model: The Juggernaut at free with in-app purchases against MIT Technology Review's subscription. The Juggernaut also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (55% vs 44%). MIT Technology Review's advantage is chart position (#111 vs unranked) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 364). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MIT Technology Review sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and The Juggernaut sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $16.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for MIT Technology Review against 4.8 for The Juggernaut. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIT Technology Review has 2.8K ratings behind it against 364, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of MIT Technology Review's written reviews are positive against 55% of The Juggernaut's.

MIT Technology Review ships an update every 3 months, The Juggernaut every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
