Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Jamaica Gleaner at 5.0 against CNC3's 3.1. Jamaica Gleaner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). CNC3's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
