Verdict

The call

Tulsa and Times Record both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 56% of Times Record's written reviews are positive against 29% of Tulsa's. Tulsa's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 77) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
