# Google vs Find My

The clearest difference is rating: Google at 4.6 against Find My's 2.8. Google also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 19%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 9 months). Find My's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 37) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month. Find My asks for nothing beyond the download.

Google holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google has 5.1M ratings behind it against 18K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Google's written reviews are positive against 19% of Find My's.

Google ships an update every 5 days, Find My every 9 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
