# Map My Walk vs Motion Bed

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Motion Bed at none against Map My Walk's 8. Motion Bed also leads on ads (none vs shown). Map My Walk's advantage is ratings volume (486K vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Map My Walk sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Motion Bed asks for nothing beyond the download.

Motion Bed holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map My Walk has 486K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Map My Walk's written reviews are positive against 71% of Motion Bed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Map My Walk ships an update fortnightly, Motion Bed every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
