Beyond the Guidebook: The Definitive Rock Climbing Resource. • Find outdoor climbing areas near you, and navigate to them, using the map. This super-handy new feature is one of our personal faves. • The much requested route finder: Easily sort routes by discipline, difficulty, star ranking and more. If a 4-star M9 is your thing, we'll help you find it. • Search our entire database of 155,000+ climbing routes, even offline. • Download route beta, photos, and topos state by state for offline use — because the best crags often have the worst reception. • View a climbing area’s route stats (how many 5.11s are there?) and critical info (when is the raptor closure again?) in a single glance. • Chat, ask questions, or put out a call for partners in our forum. • Rate routes and photos, keep track of attempts & sends, or make a to-do list • It's free to download and free of advertising too. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DART Climbing at 100% against Mountain Project's 35%. DART Climbing also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.0). Mountain Project's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mountain Project holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mountain Project has 4.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Mountain Project's written reviews are positive against 100% of DART Climbing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mountain Project ships an update every 3 weeks, DART Climbing monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
