Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BERNAMA at 50% against Malay Mail's 0%. BERNAMA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Malay Mail's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
