Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Melbourne Travel Guide . at Free against Melbourne Trams's $0.99. Melbourne Travel Guide . also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (38 vs 1). Melbourne Trams's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Melbourne Travel Guide . holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Melbourne Travel Guide . has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Melbourne Travel Guide .'s written reviews are positive against 38% of Melbourne Trams's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Melbourne Travel Guide . ships an update every 7 months, Melbourne Trams every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
