Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Latinus at none against El Universal +'s 4. Latinus also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (15 vs 2). El Universal +'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (63% vs 53%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

El Universal + holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Latinus has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

El Universal + ships an update every 5 weeks, Latinus fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
