# EL PAÍS vs Berlingske e

The clearest difference is rating: Berlingske e at 3.7 against EL PAÍS's 2.1. Berlingske e also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). EL PAÍS's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (188 vs 16). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EL PAÍS sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per month and Berlingske e sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Berlingske e holds the better App Store score, 3.7 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 Berlingske e's.

EL PAÍS ships an update fortnightly, Berlingske e every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
