Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bozeman Daily Chronicle at 4.0 against Post Journal's 2.5. Bozeman Daily Chronicle also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 9%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 31 months). Post Journal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
