# GPS & Maps vs Looking4Cache Pro

The clearest difference is ads: Looking4Cache Pro at none against GPS & Maps's shown. Looking4Cache Pro also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). GPS & Maps's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 17) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS & Maps sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Looking4Cache Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for GPS & Maps against 4.5 for Looking4Cache Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS & Maps has 2.2K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of GPS & Maps's written reviews are positive against 91% of Looking4Cache Pro's.
