# TomTom vs CoMaps

TomTom and CoMaps both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of CoMaps's written reviews are positive against 49% of TomTom's. CoMaps also leads on chart position (#160 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). TomTom's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 131). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for TomTom against 4.7 for CoMaps. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TomTom has 2.8K ratings behind it against 131, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of TomTom's written reviews are positive against 80% of CoMaps's.

TomTom ships an update every 10 days, CoMaps fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
