Go Terrain also leads on ratings volume (102 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). planlauf/TERRAIN's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 37%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Terrain sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and planlauf/TERRAIN sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Go Terrain holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Terrain has 102 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Go Terrain's written reviews are positive against 75% of planlauf/TERRAIN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Go Terrain ships an update fortnightly, planlauf/TERRAIN every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
