# Newsbin vs CMRSS

The clearest difference is rating: CMRSS at 5.0 against Newsbin's 4.0. CMRSS also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Newsbin's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Newsbin sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and CMRSS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CMRSS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Newsbin has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Newsbin's written reviews are positive against 100% of CMRSS's.

Newsbin ships an update every 5 days, CMRSS every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
