Verdict
Terremoto and EarthQuake+ both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Terremoto's written reviews are positive against 45% of EarthQuake+'s. Terremoto also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). EarthQuake+'s advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 370). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Terremoto sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year and EarthQuake+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 — 4.7 for Terremoto against 4.6 for EarthQuake+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EarthQuake+ has 2.3K ratings behind it against 370, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Terremoto's written reviews are positive against 45% of EarthQuake+'s.
Terremoto ships an update every 6 weeks, EarthQuake+ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
