Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PÚBLICO Brasil at 100% against O Globo's 14%. PÚBLICO Brasil also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). O Globo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
