# GPS vs TargetNavigator

The clearest difference is price: TargetNavigator at Free against GPS's $0.99. TargetNavigator also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). GPS's advantage is chart position (#197 vs unranked) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

TargetNavigator holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GPS ships an update every 11 months, TargetNavigator fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
