Verdict
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.
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 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.
Kichin Inc holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InterNations has 5.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
InterNations ships an update every 2 months, Kichin Inc every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
