Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: INSEAD Knowledge at none against Forbes's 2. INSEAD Knowledge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Forbes's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#146 vs unranked). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
