# Go Terrain vs TopoRec

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TopoRec at 90% against Go Terrain's 37%. TopoRec also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). Go Terrain's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Terrain sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and TopoRec sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $17.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TopoRec holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Terrain has 102 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of Go Terrain's written reviews are positive against 90% of TopoRec's.

Go Terrain ships an update fortnightly, TopoRec every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
