# VEJA vs O Globo

The clearest difference is monetization model: VEJA at free with in-app purchases against O Globo's subscription. VEJA also leads on ads (none vs shown). O Globo's advantage is rating (3.2 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (87 vs 16). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VEJA sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and O Globo sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

O Globo holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: O Globo has 87 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of VEJA's written reviews are positive against 14% of O Globo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VEJA ships an update every 3 weeks, O Globo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
