SoundWalk turns physical locations into sonic environments to explore. Every SoundWalk will be different.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SoundWalk at fortnightly against Dolby XP's every 2 months. SoundWalk also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Dolby XP's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
