Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GeoExpert at none against Globe Earth 3D's shown. GeoExpert also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Globe Earth 3D's advantage is ratings volume (177 vs 14) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
