Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Borovce at none against Google News's shown. Borovce also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 17.0). Google News's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 38 months) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
