Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hindsight at Free against Headlines RSS's $1.99. Hindsight also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Headlines RSS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#87 vs unranked). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
