Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Globe at 5.0 against World Map's 4.1. Globe also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). World Map's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
