Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Intelligencer at 5.0 against Breitbart's 3.9. The Intelligencer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Breitbart's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). On price, review sentiment, 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.
The Intelligencer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Breitbart has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of The Intelligencer's written reviews are positive against 36% of Breitbart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Intelligencer ships an update every 4 months, Breitbart every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
