Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chepics at none against orangenews's 1. Chepics also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). orangenews's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
