Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Newsworthy at 4.7 against NewsFlash™'s 3.4. Newsworthy also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (7K vs 39). NewsFlash™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
