Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Estadão at 4.6 against O Globo's 3.2. Estadão also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 89). O Globo's advantage is chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. O Globo sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Estadão sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Estadão holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Estadão has 1.3K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of O Globo's written reviews are positive against 16% of Estadão's.
O Globo ships an update fortnightly, Estadão every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
