Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Walking Locus at none against Path's 3. Walking Locus also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.4). Path's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
