# GPS Utility vs Coordinates

The clearest difference is price: GPS Utility at Free against Coordinates's $0.99. GPS Utility also leads on rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Coordinates's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 50%). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

GPS Utility is free to download; Coordinates costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

GPS Utility holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GPS Utility's written reviews are positive against 60% of Coordinates's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPS Utility ships an update every 4 months, Coordinates every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
