Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Yahoo新聞 at 4.2 against Now 新聞's 2.6. Now 新聞's advantage is review sentiment (16% vs 0%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Yahoo新聞 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 60 and 40 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Yahoo新聞's written reviews are positive against 16% of Now 新聞's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
