Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: InterNations at 4.6 against Go Sailing's 3.0. InterNations also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 46). Go Sailing's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Go Sailing sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and InterNations sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

InterNations holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InterNations has 5.2K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Go Sailing's written reviews are positive against 35% of InterNations's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Go Sailing ships an update every 5 weeks, InterNations every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
