# 30A vs Visit Pensacola

The clearest difference is rating: Visit Pensacola at 5.0 against 30A's 4.6. Visit Pensacola also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 30A's advantage is ratings volume (264 vs 17) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Visit Pensacola holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 30A has 264 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of 30A's written reviews are positive against 75% of Visit Pensacola's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

30A ships an update every 2 months, Visit Pensacola every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
