Are your ready for the challenge of climbing the 202 Scottish Munro Marilyns or all of the 282 Scottish Munros? Munros are mountains that are at least 3000 feet (914m) high. Marilyns are at least 150m higher than the surrounding land. Track your progress on your own personal log and with an interactive map from OpenStreetMap. The Munro classification was created by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891 and the list is maintained by the Scottish Mountaineering Club. The Marilyn classification was created by Alan Dawson in his 1992 book The Relative Hills of Britain.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Marilyn Munros at every 2 weeks against Peakbagger's every 3 months. Marilyn Munros also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
