# Military Times vs Global Intelligence

The clearest difference is ads: Military Times at none against Global Intelligence's shown. Military Times also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Global Intelligence's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Military Times sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $11.99 per year and Global Intelligence sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Military Times ships an update every 10 months, Global Intelligence every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
