Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: RDN Digital at none against MSN's shown. RDN Digital also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). MSN's advantage is ratings volume (124K vs 1) and chart position (#97 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
