# REFORMA vs DY Edición Digital

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DY Edición Digital at 100% against REFORMA's 16%. DY Edición Digital also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (141 vs 16). REFORMA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. REFORMA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and DY Edición Digital sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DY Edición Digital holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DY Edición Digital has 141 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of REFORMA's written reviews are positive against 100% of DY Edición Digital's.

REFORMA ships an update every 3 weeks, DY Edición Digital every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
