Ever wondered how many of your local footpaths you've actually walked? Troddle lets you explore, tag, and track every public right of way near you — all displayed on an interactive map. * Explore your local paths: Troddle maps every public right of way in England and Wales. Zoom into your local area and instantly see a network of paths you never knew existed. * Tag paths as you walk: Every time you complete a path, mark it as walked. Watch your local network fill up as you build a personal record of every route you've ever taken. Tag paths as fully walked, or flag them as blocked if you couldn't get through. * Track your progress: See your personal statistics — how many paths you've walked, how many kilometres you've covered, and how you're progressing through your county and beyond. Compare your local area against the full national picture. * Community trail conditions: Leave ratings and real-world tags for paths you've walked and benefit from the experience of other walkers. Know what to expect before you set off. * Sync across devices: Sign in with your email or Google account and your walked paths sync automatically to the cloud. Switch phones, reinstall the app — your history is always safe and restored instantly. Troddle is completely free to try for 30 days. After that, upgrade to Troddle Unlimited to keep tagging paths and tracking your progress. Public rights of way data covers England and Wales. In addition OpenStreetMap data optionally provides unofficial footpath data to show on the map and be tagged in the same way. This extends footpath coverage to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BetterPoints at none against Troddle's 1. Troddle's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
