Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Veracity at none against Daily Beast's shown. Veracity also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Daily Beast's advantage is ratings volume (7.7K vs 2) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
