Both are free to download. Athens Travel Guide sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Smartvisit asks for nothing beyond the download.
Athens Travel Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Athens Travel Guide has 157 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of Athens Travel Guide's written reviews are positive against 47% of Smartvisit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Athens Travel Guide ships an update every 4 months, Smartvisit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
