Want to see various pathfinding algorithms in action? With Path Finding Visualization, you can visualize, in action, six different algorithms. This app allows you to select your own starting and ending points, select the algorithm you want to use, and add walls in order to create boundaries. This app includes the following algorithms: Dijkstra's - Works by expanding outwards until it reaches the target node. Guaranteed to find the shortest path as long as there are not any negative weights. Bidirectional Dijkstra's - Dijkstra's algorithm from both sides. A* - Like Dijkstra's in that it favors nodes close to the starting point, but also favors nodes close to the ending point (heuristic). It does not guarantee the shortest path. A tie-breaker that prefers straight lines was included in order to prevent multiple nodes from having the same F values. Bidirectional A* - The A* algorithm from both sides. Breadth-First Search - Traverses through a graph one level at a time until it finds the target node. Since there are no weights, this algorithm does guarantee the shortest path. Depth-First Search - Traverses through a graph by going as deep as possible and then backtracking until it finds the target node. It does not guarantee the shortest path. Learning about or want to visualize any of the above algorithms in action? Download Path Finding Visualization today and have a better understanding of how each algorithm works.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Path Finding Visualization at 5.0 against Maneki Kanji's 4.4. Path Finding Visualization also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Maneki Kanji's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 35 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Maneki Kanji sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Path Finding Visualization asks for nothing beyond the download.
Path Finding Visualization holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maneki Kanji has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Path Finding Visualization ships an update every 35 months, Maneki Kanji every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
