# Canada Press vs Canada Français

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Canada Français at 100% against Canada Press's 59%. Canada Français also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Canada Press's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canada Press sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Canada Français sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Canada Français holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canada Press has 55 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Canada Press's written reviews are positive against 100% of Canada Français's.

Canada Press ships an update every 12 months, Canada Français every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
