# LA NACION vs Cadena 3

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cadena 3 at none against LA NACION's 1. Cadena 3 also leads on review sentiment (27% vs 15%). LA NACION's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (273 vs 16). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LA NACION sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Cadena 3 asks for nothing beyond the download.

LA NACION holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LA NACION has 273 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of LA NACION's written reviews are positive against 27% of Cadena 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LA NACION ships an update fortnightly, Cadena 3 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
