# Meduza vs MIGNEWS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MIGNEWS at 100% against Meduza's 57%. MIGNEWS also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Meduza's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (319 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Meduza holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meduza has 319 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Meduza's written reviews are positive against 100% of MIGNEWS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
