Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Persica Association at none against InterNations's 5. Persica Association also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). InterNations's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 1). On price and device support 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. Persica Association asks for nothing beyond the download.
Persica Association holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InterNations has 5.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
InterNations ships an update every 2 months, Persica Association every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
