Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GDMS holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GDMS's written reviews are positive against 82% of Alta Networks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GDMS ships an update every 3 months, Alta Networks every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
