Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mitchell Republic E at none against New Scientist's 11. Mitchell Republic E also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). New Scientist's advantage is ratings volume (5.6K vs 2) and chart position (#56 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
