# 다음 vs 한겨레

The clearest difference is ads: 한겨레 at none against 다음's shown. 한겨레 also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). 다음's advantage is ratings volume (131 vs 11). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.2 for 다음 against 3.2 for 한겨레. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 다음 has 131 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of 다음's written reviews are positive against 41% of 한겨레's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
