Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MeteoPace at 57% against ArtTrails's 0%. MeteoPace also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). ArtTrails's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ArtTrails sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and MeteoPace sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ArtTrails holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeteoPace has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ArtTrails's written reviews are positive against 57% of MeteoPace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ArtTrails ships an update every 5 weeks, MeteoPace every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
