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. International Calling sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. JoinIf asks for nothing beyond the download.
JoinIf holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: International Calling has 9K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of International Calling's written reviews are positive against 100% of JoinIf's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
