Verdict

Data Usage's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). On price, update cadence and device support 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
Both are free to download. Data Usage sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. RouteManager asks for nothing beyond the download.
Data Usage holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Data Usage has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Data Usage's written reviews are positive against 100% of RouteManager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Data Usage ships an update every 3 weeks, RouteManager every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
