Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Backpackr at free against Interracial Dating's subscription. Backpackr also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Interracial Dating's advantage is ratings volume (530 vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
