Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blue Light Maps at 5.0 against CoPilot GPS Navigation's 3.5. Blue Light Maps also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). CoPilot GPS Navigation's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 1) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, 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. CoPilot GPS Navigation sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Blue Light Maps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Blue Light Maps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoPilot GPS Navigation has 2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 34% and 35% positive.
