# Map My Tracks vs Running Walking Tracker Goals

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Running Walking Tracker Goals at 107K against Map My Tracks's 8. Running Walking Tracker Goals also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Map My Tracks's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Map My Tracks sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Running Walking Tracker Goals sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Running Walking Tracker Goals holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Running Walking Tracker Goals has 107K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Map My Tracks's written reviews are positive against 77% of Running Walking Tracker Goals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
