Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArticleCast at 100% against Bigloop's 50%. ArticleCast also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (32 vs 5). Bigloop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
