The short version

  • Only AllTrails has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AllTrails the App Store listing shows AllTrails is a free download with an in-app Pro subscription; the visible listing text does not state the Pro price, so the reader must check in-app purchases for the current rate.; Mapillary owned by Meta, so the imagery and the roadmap sit with a single company rather than a foundation
  • They diverge on capability: AllTrails covers Trail discovery, Mapillary covers Core Functionality.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AllTrails

  • The App Store listing shows AllTrails is a free download with an in-app Pro subscription; the visible listing text does not state the Pro price, so the reader must check in-app purchases for the current rate.

Mapillary

  • Owned by Meta, so the imagery and the roadmap sit with a single company rather than a foundation
  • Coverage depends on contributors, so it is dense in mapped cities and thin elsewhere
