The short version

  • Only Komoot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Komoot offline maps are sold per geographic region rather than per user, so coverage is bought as a Single Region, a Region Bundle or the World Pack; MacroFactor the App Store listing states MacroFactor offers only a 7 day trial of the premium, ad-free macro tracker before a subscription is required, without stating the subscription price in the visible description.
  • They diverge on capability: Komoot covers Route planning, MacroFactor covers Adaptive algorithm.
