# Al Jazeera vs عرب ترند

The clearest difference is ads: عرب ترند at none against Al Jazeera's shown. عرب ترند also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Al Jazeera's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (86K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Al Jazeera holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Al Jazeera has 86K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Al Jazeera's written reviews are positive against 100% of عرب ترند's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
