# iSharing vs Geonection

The clearest difference is ads: Geonection at none against iSharing's shown. Geonection also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). iSharing's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (36K vs 233). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iSharing sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Geonection sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iSharing holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iSharing has 36K ratings behind it against 233, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of iSharing's written reviews are positive against 74% of Geonection's.

iSharing ships an update weekly, Geonection every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
