Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Minphuin at 5.0 against Interpals's 3.9. Minphuin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Interpals's advantage is ratings volume (648 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
