# Map My Walk vs Find Phone

The clearest difference is rating: Map My Walk at 4.8 against Find Phone's 4.3. Map My Walk also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 66%) and ratings volume (481K vs 75K). Find Phone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#23 vs #129). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Map My Walk sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Find Phone sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Map My Walk holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map My Walk has 481K ratings behind it against 75K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Map My Walk's written reviews are positive against 66% of Find Phone's.

Map My Walk ships an update every 2 weeks, Find Phone every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
