Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: InterNations at 4.6 against Globbi's 4.0. InterNations also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 4). Globbi's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 and Globbi sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
InterNations holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. 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.
InterNations ships an update every 2 months, Globbi every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
