Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Who Stole Me? at none against Backpacker™'s shown. Who Stole Me? also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 70%). Backpacker™'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (5.4K vs 511). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Backpacker™ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days and Who Stole Me? sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Backpacker™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backpacker™ has 5.4K ratings behind it against 511, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Backpacker™'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Who Stole Me?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Backpacker™ ships an update every 6 weeks, Who Stole Me? every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
