# Rádio CBN vs Estadão

The clearest difference is rating: Estadão at 4.6 against Rádio CBN's 2.1. Estadão also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 17). Rádio CBN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Estadão sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Rádio CBN asks for nothing beyond the download.

Estadão holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Estadão has 1.3K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Rádio CBN's written reviews are positive against 16% of Estadão's.

Rádio CBN ships an update every 2 months, Estadão fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
