# GPS Tools® vs GPS Coordinates

The clearest difference is ads: GPS Tools® at none against GPS Coordinates's shown. GPS Tools® also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (340 vs 58). GPS Coordinates's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 54%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Tools® sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 6 months and GPS Coordinates sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GPS Tools® holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Tools® has 340 ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of GPS Tools®'s written reviews are positive against 65% of GPS Coordinates's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPS Tools® ships an update every 3 weeks, GPS Coordinates monthly. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
