Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ganja Mingle at none against Locals.com's 12. Ganja Mingle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). Locals.com's advantage is ratings volume (42K vs 1) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
