Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Arutz 7 at none against The Jerusalem Post's 3. Arutz 7 also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.1). The Jerusalem Post's advantage is ratings volume (204 vs 45). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
