# Guru Maps vs ExplorOz Traveller

The clearest difference is price: Guru Maps at Free against ExplorOz Traveller's $39.99. Guru Maps also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (3K vs 4). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Guru Maps is free to download; ExplorOz Traveller costs $39.99 up front. Guru Maps sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ExplorOz Traveller sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Guru Maps holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guru Maps has 3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Guru Maps's written reviews are positive against 61% of ExplorOz Traveller's.

Guru Maps ships an update every 10 days, ExplorOz Traveller every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
