Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Campbeltown Courier at 100% against tucson.com's 39%. Campbeltown Courier also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 17.6). tucson.com's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
