Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Societiz at 100% against InterNations's 35%. Societiz also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). InterNations's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
