Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Kichin Inc at none against InterNations's shown. Kichin Inc also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). InterNations's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InterNations sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and Kichin Inc sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
