Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Polimer News at 3.1 against Dinamalar's 1.8. Polimer News also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Dinamalar's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 22) and review sentiment (26% vs 16%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Polimer News holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dinamalar has 208 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Dinamalar's written reviews are positive against 16% of Polimer News's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dinamalar ships an update every 3 months, Polimer News every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
