The clearest difference is ads: Model UN at none against World Factbook +'s shown. Model UN also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 62%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). World Factbook +'s advantage is ratings volume (79 vs 16). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
