# NewsMaker vs TestMaker

The clearest difference is rating: TestMaker at 4.7 against NewsMaker's 3.6. TestMaker also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (61% vs 33%). NewsMaker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NewsMaker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TestMaker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TestMaker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TestMaker has 407 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of NewsMaker's written reviews are positive against 61% of TestMaker's.

NewsMaker ships an update every 2 months, TestMaker every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
