# SunPass vs GPS Special

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Special at 100% against SunPass's 3%. GPS Special also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). SunPass's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 15) and chart position (#151 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

GPS Special holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SunPass has 2.9K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 3% of SunPass's written reviews are positive against 100% of GPS Special's.

SunPass ships an update every 4 months, GPS Special every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
