Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Google Maps at 7.4M against Coordinates's 6.6K. Google Maps also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). Coordinates's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 44%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. Coordinates sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Google Maps sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Coordinates against 4.7 for Google Maps. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Maps has 7.4M ratings behind it against 6.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Coordinates's written reviews are positive against 44% of Google Maps's.
Coordinates ships an update monthly, Google Maps every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
