Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Turf at fortnightly against Munzee's every 3 months. Turf also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 40%). Munzee's advantage is ratings volume (119 vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Turf sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Munzee sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
