Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Microtrip at none against Lost Sock's 1. Microtrip also leads on ratings volume (897 vs 40) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Lost Sock's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lost Sock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Microtrip asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lost Sock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microtrip has 897 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Microtrip's written reviews are positive against 81% of Lost Sock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Microtrip ships an update every 3 months, Lost Sock every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
