Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ثقافة وإعلام at none against The National E's shown. ثقافة وإعلام also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). The National E's advantage is ratings volume (138 vs 4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
