# NewsFlash RSS vs Artykul

The clearest difference is price: Artykul at Free against NewsFlash RSS's $0.99. Artykul also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 67%) and device support (4 vs 2). NewsFlash RSS's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Artykul is free to download; NewsFlash RSS costs $0.99 up front. NewsFlash RSS sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Artykul sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NewsFlash RSS holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of NewsFlash RSS's written reviews are positive against 80% of Artykul's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NewsFlash RSS ships an update monthly, Artykul every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
