# CycleMaps vs Delivery Route Planner

The clearest difference is rating: CycleMaps at 5.0 against Delivery Route Planner's 4.5. CycleMaps also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Delivery Route Planner's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 3) and review sentiment (77% vs 61%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CycleMaps sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per year and Delivery Route Planner sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CycleMaps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Delivery Route Planner has 1.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of CycleMaps's written reviews are positive against 77% of Delivery Route Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CycleMaps ships an update weekly, Delivery Route Planner every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
