Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OnLocation Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avetta Mobile has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of OnLocation Mobile's written reviews are positive against 60% of Avetta Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OnLocation Mobile ships an update every 6 weeks, Avetta Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
