Verdict
Today's Front Pages and Reason both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Reason's written reviews are positive against 60% of Today's Front Pages's. Reason also leads on chart position (#186 vs unranked). Today's Front Pages's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 391). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
