Both are free to download. Pathmap sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. HOVR asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pathmap holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of HOVR's written reviews are positive against 12% of Pathmap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HOVR ships an update every 11 days, Pathmap every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 12, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
