Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Il Messaggero Mobile at none against Il Sole 24 ORE's shown. Il Messaggero Mobile also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 30%). Il Sole 24 ORE's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Il Sole 24 ORE holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Il Sole 24 ORE's written reviews are positive against 50% of Il Messaggero Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Il Sole 24 ORE ships an update every 3 months, Il Messaggero Mobile every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
