Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Magasin+ at none against Aftenposten's shown. Magasin+ also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Aftenposten's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
