Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bangkok Travel Guide . at 4.7 against BEM MRT's 1.0. Bangkok Travel Guide . also leads on ratings volume (197 vs 1). BEM MRT's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bangkok Travel Guide . holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bangkok Travel Guide . has 197 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Bangkok Travel Guide .'s written reviews are positive against 29% of BEM MRT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bangkok Travel Guide . ships an update every 3 months, BEM MRT monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
