# El Universal + vs Telediario

The clearest difference is rating: El Universal + at 5.0 against Telediario's 1.0. El Universal + also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). Telediario's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. El Universal + sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Telediario asks for nothing beyond the download.

El Universal + holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of El Universal +'s written reviews are positive against 66% of Telediario's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

El Universal + ships an update every 5 weeks, Telediario every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
