Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Haaretz Tablet Edition at 2.1 against ynet's 1.8. Haaretz Tablet Edition also leads on review sentiment (18% vs 9%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). ynet's advantage is ratings volume (225 vs 15) and chart position (#130 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
