The discovery portion is very good, with good curation and ratings. Great comments updating you on trail conditions. Thankfully this portion is free for everyone.
With PRO you are paying for the offline features that enable trail navigation. Those features are pretty terrible, especially compared to Gaia. They are unreliable, and difficult to manage with their clumsy UX. For example, if you are hiking multiple trails around a given region, you need to download each one separately. With Gaia you just draw a big box that can be as big as Texas if you like.
What's worse is that downloads often get "lost" while you are off signal so you have no map.
In short, use Alltrails free version to discover routes and then Gaia for actually hiking and navigating when offline.
This seems to be similar to the Tile/AirTag battle. In community driven apps, the largest community wins regardless of how cheap/cool the competitor is. If 80% of the hikers who use apps are using AllTrails, then it's compilation is the most complete and therefore the most desirable. Sorry Tile (Komoot).

I'm sure there's a cracked version if you have a jailbroken phone
You can find most of the trails and maps on here for free elsewhere. Heck the trail heads usually have maps you can take a pic of or even now a QR code to download their map. I forget what all the premium stuff is but the only reason I buy it is because it lets you download them for offline use. If you're in a spot with great cell service you don't even need to though.

Organic maps though are pretty great, but based on open source project and have a ton of info for free
