# NFL vs Packers News

NFL and Packers News both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 47% of Packers News's written reviews are positive against 19% of NFL's. NFL's advantage is ratings volume (412K vs 1.2K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFL sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Packers News sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 NFL against 4.5 for Packers News. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFL has 412K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of NFL's written reviews are positive against 47% of Packers News's.

NFL ships an update weekly, Packers News every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
