Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MSA GB at none against Daily Express's 2. MSA GB also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Daily Express's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
