Verdict

The call

ČT24 and Novinky.cz both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of ČT24's written reviews are positive against 44% of Novinky.cz's. ČT24 also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Novinky.cz's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
