Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NJ.com at 4.5 against Haaretz Tablet Edition's 2.1. NJ.com also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25K vs 15). Haaretz Tablet Edition's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NJ.com sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Haaretz Tablet Edition sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NJ.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.1.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NJ.com ships an update every 3 weeks, Haaretz Tablet Edition every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
