Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: الخليج PDF at 4.7 against UAE News's 3.9. الخليج PDF also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). UAE News's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 19 months). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
