# GPSRecorder vs myLocation

The clearest difference is review sentiment: myLocation at 69% against GPSRecorder's 29%. myLocation also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (327 vs 1). GPSRecorder's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

GPSRecorder costs $0.99 and myLocation $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

GPSRecorder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myLocation has 327 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of GPSRecorder's written reviews are positive against 69% of myLocation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPSRecorder ships an update every 3 months, myLocation every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
