Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Daily Express at 4.7 against The Telegraph e's 3.8. Daily Express also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Daily Express sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and The Telegraph e sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $15.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Daily Express holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Express has 1.2K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Daily Express ships an update every 3 weeks, The Telegraph e every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
