Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VEJA at 2.7 against EL PAÍS's 2.1. VEJA also leads on ads (none vs shown). EL PAÍS's advantage is ratings volume (188 vs 16) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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. EL PAÍS sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per month and VEJA sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
VEJA holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EL PAÍS has 188 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of EL PAÍS's written reviews are positive against 17% of VEJA's.
EL PAÍS ships an update fortnightly, VEJA every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
