Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EJ Insight at none against orangenews's 1. EJ Insight also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). orangenews's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 46 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
