# Roady vs Kruse GPS Audio Guide

The clearest difference is rating: Roady at 4.4 against Kruse GPS Audio Guide's 3.0. Roady also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (29 vs 7). Kruse GPS Audio Guide's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roady sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Kruse GPS Audio Guide sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roady holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Roady's written reviews are positive against 75% of Kruse GPS Audio Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roady ships an update every 6 days, Kruse GPS Audio Guide every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
