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. Compass sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and My GPS Navigation Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Compass holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Compass has 2.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
