Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ARGoldenGlobe at 100% against Scouting's 13%. ARGoldenGlobe also leads on rating (3.4 vs 2.0) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). Scouting's advantage is ratings volume (915 vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
