# MyShipTracking vs CoNav

The clearest difference is price: MyShipTracking at Free against CoNav's $6.99. MyShipTracking also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 6). CoNav's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 40%) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On ads there is nothing between them.

MyShipTracking is free to download; CoNav costs $6.99 up front. MyShipTracking sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. CoNav asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyShipTracking holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyShipTracking has 4.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of MyShipTracking's written reviews are positive against 83% of CoNav's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MyShipTracking ships an update every 2 months, CoNav every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
