Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Act Plus at none against The Berkshire Eagle's shown. Act Plus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). The Berkshire Eagle's advantage is ratings volume (571 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
