Looply

Looply plans simple walking loops around the time you actually have. Choose a duration, generate a route, and start walking. Looply creates a closed loop from your current location, shows the route on the map, and keeps the countdown visible so you can get back on time. It is built for short outdoor breaks when you do not want to search for a destination or guess whether a route will bring you back before your next commitment. What Looply does: Plans a walking loop from your current location. Lets you choose a time budget from the main dial. Shows a route that starts and ends where you are. Keeps a countdown visible during the walk. Handles route generation failures gracefully. Looply requests When In Use location permission only. It does not require an account, does not use background location, and does not store walk history. Looply is free and supported by ads. Ads may appear while a route is being prepared or when returning home, but not during an active walk.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WalkThere at none against Looply's shown. Looply's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
