Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PressReader at 4.7 against Nottingham Post's 3.8. PressReader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (59% vs 29%). Nottingham Post's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. PressReader sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Nottingham Post sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PressReader holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PressReader has 19K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of PressReader's written reviews are positive against 29% of Nottingham Post's.
PressReader ships an update monthly, Nottingham Post every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
