Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SpaceHawk GPS at 4.5 against T's 3.8. SpaceHawk GPS also leads on ratings volume (387 vs 45). T's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 23 months) and review sentiment (53% vs 44%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SpaceHawk GPS holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpaceHawk GPS has 387 ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of T's written reviews are positive against 44% of SpaceHawk GPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

T ships an update every 4 months, SpaceHawk GPS every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
