Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GetYourGuide at 68% against POPGuide's 14%. GetYourGuide also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (323K vs 3.6K). POPGuide's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GetYourGuide holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GetYourGuide has 323K ratings behind it against 3.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of GetYourGuide's written reviews are positive against 14% of POPGuide's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GetYourGuide ships an update every 6 days, POPGuide fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
