Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: El Universal + at 5.0 against El Debate Impreso's 4.5. El Universal + also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 32%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months). El Debate Impreso's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. El Debate Impreso sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and El Universal + sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
El Universal + holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: El Debate Impreso has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of El Debate Impreso's written reviews are positive against 63% of El Universal +'s.
El Debate Impreso ships an update every 12 months, El Universal + every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
