No separate fee to keep your Korean number alive. ■ Made for - Working holiday, study abroad, language school, and immigration to Canada - Activating in Korea before departure so your phone works the moment you land - Anyone who still needs Korean SMS verification while in Canada - Anyone who wants lower monthly bills and support in Korean ■ What you can do in the app - Sign in with Kakao, Google, or Apple in 3 seconds - Compare prepaid Canadian plans and activate them yourself - Track data, international calls, texts, and voice usage in real time - Change, pause, or resume your plan - Add extra data, roaming, and other add-ons - Korean-language support: 1:1 chat, FAQ, and notices ■ Home Screen widgets See remaining data and days until your billing date right on the Home Screen without opening the app. Widgets also show voice, text, and international call usage plus the last 7 days of data, and take you straight to top-up when data runs low.

A map that begins as one blank sheet of paper. Only the places you've walked on your own two feet fill in, one dot at a time. Roads passed by car or subway aren't drawn, and walking the same road a hundred times doesn't widen the map. To widen it, you have to take a new path. Today and your past steps, in different colors Where you walked today is stamped in red ink, and past steps in indigo. The more often you pass a spot, the darker it grows, so your everyday radius shows on its own. Places you haven't revisited in over three months aren't erased; they fade to grey. Stamps for places visited and places to visit Stand where you are, or long-press the map, to place a stamp anywhere you like. There are 212 stamps to choose from, sorted by category. A stamp placed where you've never walked stays as a place to visit, then turns into a visited place once you actually get close. Snap a shop sign with the camera and the background is cut away, standing up as a sticker unique to that spot. Today's Footprints The places you stopped at today line up in time order, along with how far you walked between them. If a stamp sits where your steps paused, the app asks whether you went there and counts the visit. Pioneer Compass Splits the area around you into eight directions and points to the one you've walked least. Use it to decide where to take your next walk. Film and calendar Pick a period and watch your map being drawn as a video you can export. The calendar draws the shape of each day's walk instead of a number. You can also keep a daily diary with text and photos. Widgets The Home Screen shows the shape and length of the path you drew today, and the Lock Screen shows today's distance as a single line of numbers. Tracking mode Choose between prioritizing accuracy and prioritizing battery. With accuracy first, your steps are recorded even when the app is closed. Your records stay in your iCloud Steps, stamps, diary entries, and photos are kept in your own private iCloud and follow you when you change devices. Anonymous usage statistics never include location coordinates, diary text, place names, or photos.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Buktu Buktu at weekly against FreeT Canada's every 4 months. FreeT Canada's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
