# Argus vs Outwalk

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Argus at 82% against Outwalk's 46%. Argus also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (36K vs 2.1K). Outwalk's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Argus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Outwalk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Argus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Argus has 36K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Argus's written reviews are positive against 46% of Outwalk's.

Argus ships an update monthly, Outwalk every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
