Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Compass Guide at 4.5 against Where2Go's 4.0. Compass Guide also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Where2Go's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Compass Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Where2Go asks for nothing beyond the download.
Compass Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Compass Guide has 126 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Where2Go's written reviews are positive against 40% of Compass Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Where2Go ships an update every 6 weeks, Compass Guide fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
