The Telegraph is the destination of choice for evolved, globally-informed users looking for more than just the news. It is reputed for diverse representation, fearless perspective, independent reportage and smart curation. The newspaper, from the house of Ananda Bazar Patrika (ABP), was started in 1982. It is the only post-Independence daily to have become the market leader in its region. The website brings the newspaper’s thought-provoking editorial edge to national readers. We cut through the clutter, authenticate information, assimilate it, and dig deeper for issues that really matter.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Week UK at 4.7 against The Telegraph's 3.7. The Week UK also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 11%) and ratings volume (345 vs 3). The Telegraph's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 35) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
