7. News Stories:

Both Proactive and Google Now can provide you news stories. However, news stories are generated differently by them. As Google has a sway on our individual lives and searches, it has the benefit of knowing your interests. Utilizing this knowledge it provides you news articles which it believes that you would like to read. These news articles are based on your previously read news stories or searches.

Proactive is different. It displays news articles on the basis of trends in your area rather than display stories on the basis of your past searches.
