Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Jerusalem Post at 2.6 against Haaretz Tablet Edition's 2.1. The Jerusalem Post also leads on ratings volume (204 vs 15) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Jerusalem Post sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Haaretz Tablet Edition sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Jerusalem Post holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Jerusalem Post has 204 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of The Jerusalem Post's written reviews are positive against 18% of Haaretz Tablet Edition's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Jerusalem Post ships an update every 2 months, Haaretz Tablet Edition every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
