# MyTrips vs Action Tour Guide

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 (#195 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Action Tour Guide sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per year. MyTrips asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyTrips ships an update every 2 months, Action Tour Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
