Ulisse is The SuperGuide: the audio guide that tells you the story of Rome and the Castelli Romani as you walk or drive. Tap "Start the tour", put your phone in your pocket and go. Ulisse knows where you are: when you pass a place its story begins, and between one story and the next a single voice keeps you company, tells you what's around you and suggests your next stop. No itinerary to pick, no screen to tap. ONE VOICE, NO PAUSES • Stories and directions flow into each other, place after place. • It tells you where you are and what's next. If you change direction, it notices and adapts. • When you reach a place you hear its full story. For the ones you pass along the way, a short preview. ON FOOT OR BY CAR • On foot it takes you from one square to the next in central Rome and tells you about what's in front of you. • By car it announces places before you reach them and tells you which side to look. You keep your eyes on the road. • It works with your phone in your pocket and the screen off, with headphones or through your car's audio. 300+ PLACES From the Colosseum to the Pantheon, from Piazza Navona to the Appian Way, all the way to Lake Nemi and Ariccia: famous monuments, hidden gems and experiences nearby, each with its own story, photos and audio. TRY IT FREE, THEN PICK YOUR PASS • A 15-minute free tour trial. • 1, 3 or 7-day passes: you pay once, with no automatic renewal. • The time starts when you buy and the pass works on foot and by car. • No account: the pass is tied to your Apple ID and you get it back on any iPhone with "Restore purchases". PRIVACY Ulisse uses your location during the tour to recognise the places around you. We don't ask for your name or a password, and we don't use your data for advertising. Anonymous statistics can be turned off in Settings. The app is available in English, Italian and Spanish. Continued use of GPS in the background can reduce battery life.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ulisse at none against Inside Italy's shown. Ulisse also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
