Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BoulderMap at 100% against Red's 55%. BoulderMap also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Red's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Red sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. BoulderMap asks for nothing beyond the download.
Red holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Red has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of BoulderMap's written reviews are positive against 55% of Red's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BoulderMap ships an update every 2 weeks, Red every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
