Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Going Abroad holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 48 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Going Abroad's written reviews are positive against 17% of GlobeRoam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Going Abroad ships an update every 3 months, GlobeRoam every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
