Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chilean Newspapers at 73% against Duna's 18%. Chilean Newspapers also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (737 vs 6). Duna's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
