Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: El Universal + at 63% against Grupo Fórmula's 13%. El Universal + also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3). Grupo Fórmula's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
