Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Intl+ at 11K against Balatarin's 2. Intl+ also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and chart position (#205 vs unranked). Balatarin's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
