Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Appÿ at none against InterNations's 5. Appÿ also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). InterNations's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 13%) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 769). On price, ads, 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. Appÿ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Appÿ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InterNations has 5.2K ratings behind it against 769, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of InterNations's written reviews are positive against 13% of Appÿ'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, Appÿ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
