# Record vs RTP Notícias

The clearest difference is rating: RTP Notícias at 3.3 against Record's 2.7. RTP Notícias also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). Record's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 52%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Record sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. RTP Notícias asks for nothing beyond the download.

RTP Notícias holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Record's written reviews are positive against 52% of RTP Notícias's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Record ships an update every 2 months, RTP Notícias every 4 months. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
