# L'Express vs l'Opinion

The clearest difference is rating: L'Express at 4.6 against l'Opinion's 3.2. L'Express also leads on ratings volume (274 vs 5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. L'Express sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and l'Opinion sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

L'Express holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: L'Express has 274 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of L'Express's written reviews are positive against 56% of l'Opinion's.

L'Express ships an update every 9 days, l'Opinion every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
