Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Atlantic Magazine at 4.9 against ERR's 1.6. The Atlantic Magazine also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (142K vs 7). ERR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Atlantic Magazine sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. ERR asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Atlantic Magazine holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Atlantic Magazine has 142K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of The Atlantic Magazine's written reviews are positive against 65% of ERR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Atlantic Magazine ships an update weekly, ERR every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
