Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NRK at none against Aftenposten's shown. NRK also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 44%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Aftenposten's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (226 vs 63). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Aftenposten holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 63 and 226 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of NRK's written reviews are positive against 44% of Aftenposten's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NRK ships an update every 2 weeks, Aftenposten fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
