Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyTrips at none against Action Tour Guide's 10. MyTrips also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Action Tour Guide's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#172 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
