Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Backpacker™ at 5.4K against The Chase's 544. The Chase's advantage is chart position (#164 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Backpacker™ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days and The Chase sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Backpacker™ against 4.7 for The Chase. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backpacker™ has 5.4K ratings behind it against 544, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of Backpacker™'s written reviews are positive against 75% of The Chase's.
Backpacker™ ships an update every 6 weeks, The Chase every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
