Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Artykul at 4.6 against RSS News Ticker's 4.2. Artykul also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). RSS News Ticker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RSS News Ticker 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.
Artykul holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of RSS News Ticker'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.
RSS News Ticker ships an update every 3 weeks, Artykul every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
