Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Exploren at none against AnyTrip's 2. Exploren also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). AnyTrip's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
