Both are free to download. Avenza Maps sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per year and Kurviger Motorcycle Navigation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Avenza Maps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avenza Maps has 129K ratings behind it against 258, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Avenza Maps's written reviews are positive against 54% of Kurviger Motorcycle Navigation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Avenza Maps ships an update every 2 months, Kurviger Motorcycle Navigation monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
