# Big News vs Nüz

The clearest difference is rating: Big News at 4.3 against Nüz's 1.0. Big News also leads on ratings volume (53 vs 1). Nüz's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Big News sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Nüz asks for nothing beyond the download.

Big News holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big News has 53 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Big News's written reviews are positive against 50% of Nüz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
