Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mathrubhumi E at 5.0 against Manorama News's 3.5. Mathrubhumi E also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Manorama News's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mathrubhumi E holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Manorama News's written reviews are positive against 0% of Mathrubhumi E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Manorama News ships an update every 2 months, Mathrubhumi E every 12 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
