# De Telegraaf vs ED nieuws

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ED nieuws at 100% against De Telegraaf's 47%. ED nieuws also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0). De Telegraaf's advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. De Telegraaf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and ED nieuws sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
