# L'Express vs Sciences et Avenir

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sciences et Avenir at none against L'Express's 11. Sciences et Avenir also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6). L'Express's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (274 vs 14). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. L'Express sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Sciences et Avenir asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sciences et Avenir holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: L'Express has 274 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 69% and 69% positive.

L'Express ships an update every 9 days, Sciences et Avenir every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
