Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Altimeter Offline at 60% against Dakar Rally's 29%. Dakar Rally's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dakar Rally holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dakar Rally has 153 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Dakar Rally's written reviews are positive against 60% of Altimeter Offline's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dakar Rally ships an update every 4 weeks, Altimeter Offline every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
