Verdict

The call

E! News and Inside Verizon both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Inside Verizon's written reviews are positive against 27% of E! News's. Inside Verizon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). E! News's advantage is ratings volume (48K vs 48). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
