Verdict

The call

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.
