Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VOA Burmese at 4.4 against Internet Journal's 2.7. VOA Burmese also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 6) and review sentiment (34% vs 25%). Internet Journal's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
