# Locatometer vs Geosensors

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Geosensors at none against Locatometer's 1. Geosensors also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Locatometer's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Locatometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Geosensors asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Locatometer against 5.0 for Geosensors. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Locatometer has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Locatometer ships an update every 4 months, Geosensors every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
