About Us The Babylon Bee is the world's best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life. We have been the premier news source through every major world event, from the Tower of Babel and the Exodus to the Reformation and the War of 1812. We focus on just the facts, leaving spin and bias to other news sites like CNN and Fox News. Unlike other satire sites, everything we post is 100% verified by Snopes.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Babylon Bee at 95% against Breitbart's 36%. The Babylon Bee also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.9) and ads (none vs shown). Breitbart's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and chart position (#201 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
