Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cachetur.no Trip Assistant at Free against Cachly's $4.99. Cachetur.no Trip Assistant also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Cachly's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 8). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Cachetur.no Trip Assistant is free to download; Cachly costs $4.99 up front. Cachly sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Cachetur.no Trip Assistant asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cachly holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cachly has 3.7K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cachly's written reviews are positive against 83% of Cachetur.no Trip Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cachly ships an update every 9 days, Cachetur.no Trip Assistant every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
