Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Live World at 3.7 against GlobeRoam's 3.0. Live World also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (145 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Live World holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Live World has 145 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of GlobeRoam's written reviews are positive against 11% of Live World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GlobeRoam ships an update every 5 months, Live World every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
