Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: New! Magazine at free with in-app purchases against BroadcastNow's subscription. New! Magazine also leads on review sentiment (17% vs 0%). BroadcastNow's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
