# Die Presse vs Krone

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Krone at none against Die Presse's 12. Krone also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (75% vs 64%). Die Presse's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
