# WalknTours vs Mexplor

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mexplor at daily against WalknTours's monthly. Mexplor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). WalknTours's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 1) and chart position (#113 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WalknTours sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Mexplor sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mexplor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WalknTours has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WalknTours ships an update monthly, Mexplor daily. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
