# MapOut vs OpenstreetNavigation

The clearest difference is price: OpenstreetNavigation at Free against MapOut's $4.99. OpenstreetNavigation also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13). MapOut's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (146 vs 4). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

OpenstreetNavigation is free to download; MapOut costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

MapOut holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapOut has 146 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of MapOut's written reviews are positive against 100% of OpenstreetNavigation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MapOut ships an update every 6 weeks, OpenstreetNavigation every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
