# EL NORTE vs El Nuevo Día

The clearest difference is rating: El Nuevo Día at 4.7 against EL NORTE's 2.9. El Nuevo Día also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 23%) and ratings volume (43K vs 14). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EL NORTE sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and El Nuevo Día sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

El Nuevo Día holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: El Nuevo Día has 43K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of EL NORTE's written reviews are positive against 57% of El Nuevo Día's.
