Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ArtGuide CBI at none against Prado Museum Visitor Guide's 10. ArtGuide CBI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Prado Museum Visitor Guide's advantage is ratings volume (139 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prado Museum Visitor Guide sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. ArtGuide CBI asks for nothing beyond the download.
ArtGuide CBI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prado Museum Visitor Guide has 139 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of Prado Museum Visitor Guide's written reviews are positive against 0% of ArtGuide CBI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Prado Museum Visitor Guide ships an update every 5 months, ArtGuide CBI every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
