Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TopStories at 88% against Noveltime's 50%. TopStories also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). Noveltime's advantage is ratings volume (217 vs 45) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noveltime sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and TopStories sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
