# OpenstreetNavigation vs TomTom

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OpenstreetNavigation at 100% against TomTom's 51%. OpenstreetNavigation also leads on iOS requirement (11.2 vs 16.0). TomTom's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TomTom holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TomTom has 3.4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of OpenstreetNavigation's written reviews are positive against 51% of TomTom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OpenstreetNavigation ships an update every 2 weeks, TomTom every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
