Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EagleHerald at 100% against Scripps News's 68%. EagleHerald also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Scripps News's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 14). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
