# Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker vs walk.App

The clearest difference is ads: walk.App at none against Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker's shown. walk.App also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 164). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and walk.App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker has 14K ratings behind it against 164, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker's written reviews are positive against 79% of walk.App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Walkmeter Walking GPS Tracker ships an update every 10 days, walk.App every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
