# My Altitude vs Altimeter Pro

The clearest difference is price: My Altitude at Free against Altimeter Pro's $0.99. My Altitude also leads on ratings volume (27K vs 9) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). Altimeter Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.

My Altitude is free to download; Altimeter Pro costs $0.99 up front. My Altitude sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Altimeter Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for My Altitude against 4.7 for Altimeter Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Altitude has 27K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of My Altitude's written reviews are positive against 80% of Altimeter Pro's.

My Altitude ships an update every 2 months, Altimeter Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
