CycleComputer's advantage is ratings volume (627 vs 57). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CycleComputer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Navigr8 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for CycleComputer against 4.6 for Navigr8.
