Social media has never been more rewarding! We believe in our mission to return merits back to the user for the time they spend on social media. Based on a decentralized contribution-reward-system, the APPICS token (APX) is a reward-token that returns the value created via contribution back to the source, namely the creators and curators of the network. Rewards are attached to upvotes and by creating or recognizing the value of content, all participants get a fair share of the DAO reward-pool. APPICS aims at bringing a system to life where the power doesn’t just come from, but stays within the network. On APPICS users are able to share content in the form of photos and short videos which are divided in 20+ categories that provide structure and visibility for the user experience. Comments are also regarded as a form of content and users can upvote comments as well, incentivizing people to add positive, helpful or encouraging comments. But not every upvote is equal - a user can decide how much of their limited voting power they want to use for each upvote. When more upvotes are distributed, the voting power decreases. Rewards on content are automatically distributed to the user’s in-app wallet after 30 days. APX tokens can be obtained through content creation and participation in the reward-system, by voting on content within the app. APX tokens can be exchanged for Bitcoin, transferred to other users or staked in order to increase voting weight, which enables users to earn even more rewards. The more active you are, the higher your influence over the allocation of rewards! Join APPICS, share your passion, and discover a new way of social media!
Gully

Gully shows you what is happening right where you are. Open it and you see posts from people around you — not a global feed, not last week. Your street, your neighbourhood, today. The things worth knowing usually happen within a few minutes' walk. WHAT IS NEAR YOU Every post tells you how far away it is. A lost dog two streets over, a power cut on your block, a stall that just opened at the corner — the local detail a citywide app buries. SET YOUR RADIUS Decide how far you want to see, and how far your own posts travel. Tighten it to your block or widen it across the city, and change it whenever you like. CHANNELS Join channels for the things you follow — your building, a market, a school run, a local cause. Some are open to anyone, some are invite-only. You see a channel's posts from the day you join, never the history that came before. KEYWORDS Tell Gully what you want more of and what you never want to see. Keywords you add pull matching posts in. Keywords you mute keep them out. PHOTOS, VIDEO AND VOICE Post a picture of the thing you are describing, a short video, or a voice note for when typing is too slow. PRIVACY YOU CONTROL Post without your name or your photo. Blur where you were. Block anyone, report anything, and leave a channel whenever you want. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, हिन्दी, मराठी, বাংলা, தமிழ் and తెలుగు — with distances in miles or kilometres, matched to where you are. Gully is free. Download it and find out what your neighbours are talking about.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gully at none against APPICS's 10. Gully also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). APPICS's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
