Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Boappa at none against InterNations's 5. Boappa also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). InterNations's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 4) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. InterNations sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Boappa asks for nothing beyond the download.
InterNations holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InterNations has 5.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of InterNations's written reviews are positive against 50% of Boappa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
InterNations ships an update every 2 months, Boappa fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
