Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Verity News at Free against FeedLizard's $4.99. Verity News also leads on ratings volume (59 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26.0). FeedLizard's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
