Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: El Nuevo Día at none against Slate.com's shown. El Nuevo Día also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 33%) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Slate.com sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and El Nuevo Día sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Slate.com against 4.6 for El Nuevo Día. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9.1K and 44K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 33% of Slate.com's written reviews are positive against 55% of El Nuevo Día's.
Slate.com ships an update every 5 weeks, El Nuevo Día monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
