The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Global App at none against The Knysna App's 1. Global App also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). The Knysna App's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
