Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: xeu Noticias at 5.0 against REFORMA's 3.3. xeu Noticias also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 16%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). REFORMA's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
