Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Packages at 4.7 against Route's 3.7. Packages also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 3) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). Route's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 68%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Packages sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Route sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Packages holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Packages has 14K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Packages's written reviews are positive against 80% of Route's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Packages ships an update fortnightly, Route every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
